The goal Food’n’Chef Project is to shed some light on those who often stay behind the scenes — food chefs. We eat out daily in cafes, restaurants and bistros, but the interactions we have are mostly with waiters and managers. However, those who are responsible for the food often stay unnoticed. I want to bring back some justice and show those amazing people and their dishes in this great international project.
This is a truly unique project. I travel the world and tell a story about the best chefs and dishes they make. Each story has breathtaking facts about the chef and a story about his favourite dish.
Cook Like a Michelin Starred Chef! This section is for a true gourmet. For you. I blackmail the best chefs of the world, beg them, threaten and use other elements of moral coercion to get secret recipes and opportunity for you to cook the dishes, which can make one travel halfway round the world.
These recipes are not always that simple, there are some really tricky ones. And some recipes are almost impossible to cook. I call such recipes “minced unicorn” and mark them with a special sign. But there’s nothing impossible for a real foodie, right?
