STEFANO DE PIERI

I stumbled into cooking perchance, relying on memory and instinct to create the food I serve.

The conventional belief is that the use of ‘poor’ ingredients to prepare delicious dishes can constitute a money-saving exercise.

On the contrary, the practice of ‘cucina povera’ is essentially an intense labour of love requiring time, patience, creativity, and commitment to the freshness and integrity of the produce. I am not interested in excess or in the use of any ingredient superfluous to achieving full flavour through the simplest means.
