“(…) this award is destined, much more than to the rigorous and genious cook, to the complete man, an actor of our public life, who cooks, hosts, creates, writes, travels, tells, accumulates experiences including products, recipes, techniques and stories, experiments in the kitchen, but also helps in the wine harvest, makes wines, is an entrepeneur with failures and – luckily, much more – successes, a main character in the film of our lives.”
