When my publisher came to ask me to publish a book again, I asked myself, "What is the purpose of me writing?" The answer was clear to me, I wanted to inspire through words. In the 20 years I've been writing, I've received feedbacks at different stage, knowing the beauties of words can inspire people, changing of minds and even the lives. With this in mind, I've carefully selected from the hundreds of interviews I've done with chefs and restauranteurs in the past 10 years, re-edited 18 of them and compiled them into this book. The selected chefs have one thing in common: They are all forward thinking, with great ability to take action and great mentality. Their cooking techniques and philosophy, kept pushing the culinary civilisation forward, changing the world little by little. I believe, they'll give the readers, especially younger generation of chefs, some sparks in their mind and great inspiration! Heartfelt gratitude to my mentor Dr.Peter Lam, mon maestro @alain_passard , the godfather of French Culinary @alainducasse , and my respected dear friends @anaros40 , Zhang Yong from Xin Rong Ji, Danny Yip from @thechairmanrestauranthk and Mr.Stephen Ip writing me the beautiful forewords!!! 當出版社再來找我出書的時候，我問自己：「今時今日，我還在寫作的目的是什麼？」答案很清晰，我希望透過文字，啟發別人。寫作20年，我在不同時期收到過不同讀者的來信、回應，知道美好的文字，可以啟發別人，改變思想，甚至改變人生。 根據這個想法，我從這10年來訪問過的逾百位大廚、餐飲人中，精選了18篇重新編纂、結集成書。這些受訪人的共同點是：具有前瞻思維、行動力和精神力量強大，他們的廚藝、廚道哲學，推動著飲食文明的發展，一點一滴改變著世界。 我相信，他們會給讀者，特別是年輕廚師們帶來美好的啟發！ #改變世界的味道 #worldchangingflavour #謝嫣薇 #agneschee #三聯出版社 #alainpassard #alainducasse #anaros #zhangyong #張勇 #葉一南 #dannyyip #forwardthinker #forwardthinkingchef
