Cooking everyday something new, i like Action Bronson a lot.

I think the sense of life is tasting and listening, theres nothing better than cooking and listening the music that you love, that's the best way to be happy in my opinion, it gives you passion and motivation, even if you're sad, theres very good music to have it on the background while you're cooking an incredible pasta pesto with parmesano riggiano.

That's why Action Bronson is my best and favorite mentor in life, the skills to talk to the camera and cook very good tasty food its not something that we see everyday.

Learning everyday from something that you love and like its a privilege.
