“Linguiça” sausage bread purée with asparagus, tomato and green apple salad What is your culinary philosophy? My culinary philosophy is: flavour comes first, technique serves the product, the ingredients have to be meticulously chosen. I have got several restaurants with different gastronomic concepts, but the same culinary philosophy: we rely on quality and our goal is to offer a truly pleasurable experience. What are your gastronomic aspirations for Winter-Xmas time 2017? To revisit the Season’s traditional products and dishes. I come from a family of hunters so I’m also thinking about game like pheasant. It’s also likely I will be revisiting codfish and stuffed turkey dishes. 187
