MARGAUX: Where do you get
your inspiration?
MARGAUX:
Have you authored
any books, seminars, courses, blogs,
newsletters or a website ?
Dimitri: Via the Internet. I'm so
happy that we have internet now. I
can now quickly get to know a lot
of dishes. Because of the online
videos, I often get ideas for making
existing dishes that I've been
making for years now in another
way. Through the internet, you will
be creative to try out new things.
Dimitri: Yes I have helped on a
book “end of privacy” from author
Adjiedj Bakas, he is a trend watcher.
And I write recipes for the Dutch
and Belgian De’Longhi, Braun and
Kenwoodclub sites.
MARGAUX: If you could take
one month to travel to any gastro-
nomic dream destination, where
would you travel to and why ?
MARGAUX: What new things are
you trying out now?
Dimitri: Oh, it’s not a dream. Next
year I am going to Japan. I want to
learn and understand if my sushi
skills are the same as the real mas-
ters in Japan. I think if you want to
grow in your skills then you must
understand the background of the
culture. Only then you can grow.
Dimitri: I am now writing recipes
for several De’Longhi, Braun and
Kenwood kitchen machines. These
machines will force you to put
existing recipes in a new jacket. I
describe recipes that everybody
who uses a Kenwood machine is
able to make. It's very nice to do.
With the latest machines, the Coo-
king Chef gourmet can even cook
sous-vide. This again opened many
new possibilities for this kitchen
machine.
