Do you follow the current trends in food? What kind of trends excite you the most?
An exciting trend in the culinary world is the fusion of different cuisines. Chefs blend techniques and flavours from various culinary traditions to create unique and innovative dishes. This allows for the exploration of new taste combinations and the discovery of exciting flavours.
Another fascinating trend is the use of technology, such as molecular gastronomy techniques or the development of plant-based alternatives that closely mimic meat products.
The theme 'growing a healthier future', what does it mean to you and how do you feel this impacts your work in such a remote place?
The theme of "Growing a healthy future" is deeply meaningful as it represents a joint effort towards creating a sustainable and nurturing future for us, our communities, and the planet.
Even in isolated areas, promoting a healthy future can have a significant impact by encouraging awareness and understanding of sustainable practices, healthy living, and environmental responsibility.
I encourage conversations and facilitate the exchange of ideas on various topics, such as eco-friendly cooking, sustainable food sourcing, and reducing food waste. My aim is to inspire individuals to take action, regardless of their location.
