Menus
Menus are tailored around the client:
Whether it be daily family dinners caring for children meals working with seasonal product sometimes from the Principal own garden or whether it be organising a gala dinner or celebration emphasising on entertaining their guests by ways of adding theatrical or a certain elements for the purpose of an event ,the meals may vary in many many ways , time often is necessary to understand and settle within one household but often time is running out , therefore the habits and necessities are learned rapidly.
As a private chef working for many international families, it often happen that you see a member of the family wearing the apron and suddenly taking control and preparing and cooking for her guests or children , you learn and pick up recipes and tips , for a French man for example having always either boiled or made "Pilaf" you suddenly learn how to cook rice in various other ways such as the Tadig "baked" as in Persia or a Plov as per in traditional Kazakh cuisine with braised large chunks of Lamb Shoulder juicing away from its bone , all those influences of course affecting your menus in the making , the flavours and techniques one can bring in.
