In this episode, Chef Benedict, an Italian-trained chef famously known as The Custodian of Italian Delights, takes us through his core philosophies on what it means to become a chef.
He unpacks the true meaning of fusion cuisine, clarifying why it requires a deep understanding of multiple food cultures—not just mixing flavours—and shares how he draws on his Italian upbringing to create ingredient-led dishes that celebrate locally sourced produce.
Chef Benedict emphasises that ingredients are king, reminding us that the role of a chef is not to dominate food but to guide it, respecting what each ingredient naturally offers. He also reflects on the importance of patience, craft, and integrity in building a niche restaurant.
So excited to take it 'One Bite at a Time' with you all!
