The Basque chef needs inspiration to describe his dishes and for this he turns to one of the journalists who best knows how to transmit with his words.
Chef Diego Guerrero manages to put ‘the icing on the cake’ with the help of writer Manuel Jabois. Although a priori it seems that cooking and literature have little to do with each other, you will not think the same when you see how the Basque cook and the Galician journalist and how Manuel manages that the creative part of Diego not only stays in the kitchenbut rather transfer it to the description of your dishes.
In the meetings that we are living and that we are narrating thanks to #inspire2 We have discovered how to get out of your comfort zone and ‘explore’ unexpected fields can bring you big surprises. Nawja Nimri and Palomo Spain and Maribel Verdú and Iván Ferreiro are some of the well-known faces that have revealed the curious ways to achieve inspiration to show their hidden talents and that we have known thanks to KIA. This time it is his turn to Chef Diego Guerrero. You need to find the secrets of storytelling to describe your recipes beyond putting the ingredients and the step by step. “I need to count it like you count the columns,” says Guerrero. To cross the threshold and unite cooking and literature, he asks for help from Manuel Jabois, who will not hesitate to help him, even if it will cost him “a good menu”.
“In literature we tell what we do not see and what we do not experience“Jabois advises Diego. And, as if they were two super detectives, they go out into the street to ‘observe’ (without being observed) and bring a story to life. “What would you give that man? What vegetable would that boy be?” Jabois asks the chef to get him to play with his imagination.
And it seems that the idea is a complete success, because although at first he only sees before him a plate with its ingredients, little by little, Diego Guerrero begins to shape the story behind. Excited, he calls his ‘teacher’ to read him what he has written. “Be kind,” the chef tells his interlocutor. Jabois, who is characterized by his sincerity and above all by not being silent about anything, is speechless when hearing the story that Diego has built. “Wow, that’s amazing,” the writer tells the chef. He thanks him for his words: “If I hadn’t called him, it wouldn’t have been possible. It has been inspiring and opens a new path for the future.“, replies the chef who, thanks to his friend, manages to transmit a story through his dishes. And that way everything tastes better.
