Why is food the perfect medium to explore different cultures and bring people together Food is a universal language because everybody in the world needs food.
It brings people together for a common element.
Food is an important part of different cultures, to explore one's culture is to indulge in one's cuisine.
This medium is perfect because it is easily recognizable to all nations.
What is your favourite dish It is hard to name one, but good fresh pasta with braised meat, pickled veg and quality cheese is the pick for me.
First memory of enjoying different flavours Hard to remember.My mum wasn t much of a cook, so we grew up with very simple food.
When I started my apprenticeship a whole new world opened up for me.
I got to taste foods that were totally new to me.
It was a great experience, one which I have never forgotten and I'm always looking for different ingredients to try.
A Taste of Harmony wi th Mark Poul ter
