Variety, variety, variety. 

While French classic is at the front of Daniel cuisine, he attaches great importance in preparing dishes that are done from the "ground up".

Farm to table or garden to table is a way thoroughly enjoyed not only by himself, the process of picking the fruits and vegetables at the right time, the interaction with the grower and gardener, and of course the pleasure of preparing and seeing it turn into something truly delicious and nutritious. 

Lightening the old classicals by bringing modern techniques, but also using methods such as steaming so to retain every minerals and goodness of the ingredients.
