I Fell In Love With Food Because

When You Have Made As Many Mistakes As I Have, Then You Can Be As Good As Me.

Young People Want To Be Famous Before They Know How To Cook, Before They Know How To Treat People, Before They Know What Hospitality Means. I Stayed In France For Seven Years And Austria For Three, So Before I Was A Chef Anywhere I Was Already Cooking For 10 Years.

I Grew Up In Austria, And For Me Real Comfort Food Is Wiener Schnitzel. Wiener Schnitzel And Mashed Potatoes Because It Reminds Me Of My Youth... It Reminds Me When I Grow Up And It Feels Very Comforting.

Italian Food Is All About Ingredients And It's Not Fussy And It's Not Fancy.

I Think The Most Important Thing When You Are In A Competition And You Have, Let's Say, Ingredients You Have To Use Make Something You Did Already Because None Of The Judges, You Know, Probably Had It In Our Lifetime, So I Think Do Something You Feel Confident With, Not Something Completely New Where You Are Not Sure How Many Hours Or How Many Minutes You Have To Cook It Or If The Seasoning Is Right Or If The Combinations Of Spices And Herbs Are Right.
