“A chef is a chef, a cook is a cook; a lorry driver is a lorry driver and a designer is a designer. I've never heard anyone say that Philippe Starck is a chef. The important thing is dialogue. If I said to Norman Foster that he was a chef he'd say "No", but he might have a dialogue with chefs. People have said to me for many years that I'm not a chef and that I'm an artist instead, but I always say, "No, I'm a chef." I just have dialogues with designers.” PeopleIfsYearsSaidImportantMightArtistHeardImportant ThingsDialogueCooksDesignerDriversChefLorry Author:Ferran Adria
“You know, my parents had a restaurant. And I left home, actually, in 1949, when I was 13 years old, to go into apprenticeship. And actually when I left home, home was a restaurant - like I said, my mother was a chef. So I can't remember any time in my life, from age 5, 6, that I wasn't in a kitchen.” KnowsYearsSaidI CanHomeAgeRememberMotherLeftParentKitchenRestaurantsChefApprenticeshipHome Home Author:Jacques Pepin
