What does food mean to you?
Food is deeply emotional and connected to many stories. I would say it’s an essential part of life, with so many memories tied to it.
You think food can evoke emotions?
Absolutely! Certain flavors take me straight back to my childhood or specific moments in life, and that is always powerful. For example, I love Maluns, a traditional Swiss dish my mother always cooks – it’s like diving into memories. Food isn’t just about taste. It’s about the setting, the people, and the atmosphere. That’s what makes it such an emotional experience.
This highlights the importance of bringing people together through food.
Yes, I truly believe food connects people. At home, we always have lunch and dinner together with our children, and these meals become the time for conversation. It’s the most important part of the day – sitting together, talking, while sharing good food. The same applies to get-togethers with friends. Most of the time, people naturally gravitate to the kitchen while someone is cooking, that’s where the best conversations happen. Sitting at a table and sharing a meal is one of life’s greatest joys.
