What is cooking? The amalgamation and transformation of raw materials. Stefano Crescenzi likes to remind younger chefs of the importance of respecting traditional recipes, as a good understanding of these will give a chef the bones, the structure, the keys of Italian cooking. It is important to have strong points of reference.
He believes that to change traditional recipes to suit a particular taste or sell more dishes, as is so prevalent in the restaurant sector, is extremely damaging to these culinary milestones.
