✨ Curiosity Begins. ✨

Every dish we create is a journey of the senses and the soul. It starts with a spark of curiosity - that first sight, that first aroma, that first taste. From there, every line that branches out is part of your own unique journey - through flavors, textures, emotions, and memories. By the end, you’ve discovered not just a new taste, but a piece of yourself. Let your curiosity lead, savor the journey, and discover the extraordinary - both in taste and in heart. 🌟

Being a chef isn’t about the glory.
It’s not the pretty plates, the followers, or the fame.

It’s about the hours no one sees.
The burns. The pressure. The noise in your head.
The obsession that keeps you chasing better.

It’s about bleeding for something you love.
Finding pride in the scars.
And showing up even when you’ve got nothing left.

That’s why I wrote this book
to remind chefs why we do it.
To inspire the next generation,
and to honour everyone who’s ever lived it.

The final shot — Japanese kingfish, pickled apple, lemongrass emulsion, tapioca crackle, sea grapes.
A dish built to blend in and still stand out. 🐚✨

If you haven’t watched the reel yet, why the f*ck not?
Go see how this one came together — and watch the coral come to life.

The final shot - Duck Tea.
Built slow, layered deep, and finished clean.

And if you still haven’t watched the reel to see the trick for skimming the fat - why the f*ck not? 🦆❄️
Go watch it. Learn something new. Then come back and tell me you’ll never make stock the same way again.
