INTRODUCTION

If you had told me when I was a small boy growing up in Tuscany that one day, I would be a chef, running a restaurant in London that specialised in vegan Korean-Italian fusion cuisine, I never would have believed you.

For starters, it wasn’t until recently that I thought of myself as a chef at all, even if I always had an interest in cooking. Secondly, I had no idea what ‘vegan’ meant — or why anyone would choose to be one. Finally, I wouldn’t have been able to point to Korea or even Asia on a map, even in early adulthood. Geography was never my strong suit.

In sum, I would have thought the whole idea of becoming a vegan Korean-Italian fusion chef was pura pazzia. Pure craziness. And I admit that, in a way, it is!

Looking back, however, I can also see that this is always what I was meant to do. And having long struggled to find my path in life, I now realize that, in many ways, I’ve been on this path all along.

Writing this book is an extension of this path, for while cooking is my craft, my true passion is sharing the happiness and fulfilment it gives me with others. I am thus bringing my recipes beyond my cosy Brick Lane eatery to kitchen around the world and to you,

Ciao,

Mauro

MY STORY

I’ve always had a thing for kitchens. Even as a toddler, I loved playing with my cousin Francesca’s kitchen set, with all its toy pots, pans and utensils. We would concoct dishes made with dirt and leaves, and it gave us great pride to serve them to our parents. From that point on, I spent as much time as I could in the kitchen gathering ingredients and knowledge. I remember watching my grandmother Maria who made lasagna every Sunday. I also remember collecting little fish that the fishermen would discard along the seashore in Summer, to then prepare a delicious soup that I shared with my family.

But the person who taught me most about the creative joys of cooking was my mother, who rarely ventured further than our refrigerator to make a tasty meal out of whatever happened to be
