What was your childhood like? “I was born in France in 1968 – in the Haute-Savoie [region], which borders Italy. My family is from the south of Italy, but my grandfather moved to France after the war. He was a pastry chef in Sicily but he couldn’t get work so he became a builder in France. They didn’t like Italian people then. My grandmother cooked simple food, but she and my mum were not good cooks. I was a bad student at school.”
How did you get into cooking?...
