I have fabulous memories over the past 20 years, working on some incredible charity events ranging from culinary spectacles at Raffles hotel in Singapore with Alain Ducasse, the brothers Poucel and Tetsuya Wakuda, to the Charlie trotter foundation in Chicago with Ferran Adrian, Daniel Boloud and Marcus Samuelson.
