People wanted to shake off the old lifestyle. Eating new food was part of being modern. The Spanish are very adventurous.

Spain is where I think the most exciting cuisine is at the moment . It really has become this gastronomic mecca.

Spanish cooking is drier, more singular, not as diffused. It's about one ingredient tasting very good, like tossing sardines with garlic and parsley and leaving it alone. Even when chefs riff on it, they don't put a lot on the plate.

I see reasons for hope. Young people are waking up to these issues.

If only I knew... If only baby... If only...

I just want to work with wonderful people.
