Who said Vegan can’t be unforgettable??

Today in my studio kitchen in Italy, I’m crafting a new vegan fine dining menu for a client in Hong Kong an ambitious project built around one clear idea: plant-based cuisine can be just as deep, elegant, and emotionally powerful as any traditional gastronomic experience.

With just the first four dishes developed, the direction already feels right. There’s a sense of purity, but also intention each plate designed to speak clearly, without noise.

The philosophy is simple, but demanding: respect the ingredient, don’t dominate it.
Minimal intervention, precise technique, and as little heat as possible just enough to elevate, never to mask. The goal is to preserve vitality, texture, and the natural expression of each element.

This isn’t about “vegan alternatives.”
This is about building a cuisine that stands on its own rooted in nature, driven by creativity, and capable of surprising even the most traditional palate.

Curious to hear your thoughts would this kind of approach change the way you see plant-based fine dining?

Stay tuned, the opening will be in July 2026 in one of the most iconic building in Hong Kong!!

Black or white which one?
They ask me a photo for branding an horror movie 😂😱

2026 is off to a strong start.

After an exceptional response to our Elite Chef Search services, our Italian Food & Wine Promotion calendar across Asia & Southeast Asia is filling up rapidly.

From February onward and over the next six months, we are already confirmed or invited to curate promotions in India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

What makes these events different?

This is not another Italian promotion built around burrata, carbonara, or tiramisù the familiar flags of Italian cuisine in Asia.
Our concept focuses instead on authentic regional traditions from small towns in Italy: recipes and products that today are often prepared only at home, by grandparents, and that many Italian restaurants no longer serve even in Italy.

For many guests, this will be a first encounter with a side of Italy they have never experienced before.

Each promotion is paired with a small, boutique Italian winery, carefully selected and often still undiscovered in Asian markets. Because excellent wine does not always travel and many outstanding producers are still waiting to be introduced to the right audience.

These 1–2 day events are designed to be:
• culturally authentic
• commercially sustainable
• and genuinely differentiated from past “Italian weeks” that too often failed to deliver real value.

If you are a hotel, restaurant, or hospitality group interested in hosting a curated Italian Food & Wine promotion that brings something truly new to your guests, feel free to DM me, there are some sponsors who’s willing to pay for it.. not you don’t worry….

Done properly, this is a win–win opportunity for partners, producers, and guests alike.

Another chapter of consulting begins in Shanghai and this time, it’s not for a Western client.
I’ve been invited by a high-end Chinese vegan restaurant group to elevate their entire guest experience.

The mission: bring precision, refinement, and a subtle touch of Western finesse,
while fully respecting their Buddhist vegan philosophy and keeping the soul of the brand untouched.

Service. Food. Atmosphere. Philosophy.
Everything rises without losing authenticity.

Will we achieve this?
Absolutely. That’s what we do.

Shanghai, here we go again.
