About
La gastronomie fair trembler d'intelligence nos narines - Charles Monselet
In 2013 Marina (1989) graduated from Le Cordon Bleu Paris and enrolled for a course at École Ducasse in order to strengthen her culinary foundation through a different approach.
One of her first articles was about chocolatier and Meilleur Ouvrier de France (2000) Patrick Roger. During an unexpected visit in his atelier she was inspired by his fiery passion, quirky character and creative talent. That was the moment she realized that she wanted to focus even more in the future on individuals who contribute to the vibrant and fast evolving culinary scene, each in their own way.
Thanks to her broad culinary network, French heritage and perseverance, Marina has had the opportunity to encounter people that shape the international food and hotel scene such as Paz Levinson, Matteo Casone, the Pariente sisters, Arnaud Zannier, Gwendal Poullennec and Marcel Ravin. Today her aim is to highlight the passion of the people who work in a very dynamic but often underestimated and rather demanding industry. Nothing sparks as much joy as entering a restaurant, pastry shop or hotel and get a feel of what is going on. Whether that is what's being served on the plate, how the shower runs or how the staff is communicating: no culinary or lifestyle detail is overlooked in order to write up some glossy, light-hearted pieces such as City Guides, Interviews, Inspirational and Round-Up articles.
