The team at Nowness have spent a day working with the highly creative Inaki Aizpitarte before he departed to LA ahead of the Le Grand Fooding food festival.
The chef who runs Le Chateaubriand and Dauphin in Paris is widely acclaimed throughout the industry and was given 18th position at the World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards 2013, sponsored by S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna.
Often described as 'bistronomie' - Aizpitarte is a young chef who's not afraid to stray away from convention, something shown in the fact that Le Chateaubriand operates daily with no fixed menu.
In this video the chef shows us round his kitchen as he discusses his approach to food and the importance of ingredients. He then sets about creating a Californian inspired dish to mark his first ever visit to the State.
