Before anything else, preparation is the key to success. Alexander Graham Bell We had the BEST MEAL EVER at Hotel Quinta da Marinha in Cascais last Saturday! :) Superb flavors, perfect combinations, divine dégustation!... We all felt like kings in that evening! 'Please, Sir, I want some more!' We could not ask about all the chef's secrets... but we could learn one of them that I am sure that plays a key role in his well recognized success:
PREPARATION! It took Stefano Catenacci 4 days to prepare our meal! Think about it... why do we keep on trying to rush the preparation stage? What would we be capable of if we tried 4 times harder, if we practiced 4 times longer? ***Maybe we could start seeing rewards more often*** Have a look at his list AND BE INSPIRED! - Winner of the Silver medal in the Swedish contest ”The chef of the year” in 1999 - Winner of the Gold medal in the Nordic championship in 1999 - 4th place in the European championship in Bordeaux in 2000 - Elected ”Chef of the Chefs” by the all the major Swedish chefs in 2000 - Award of the Swedish Gastronomic - Academy’s Gold medal in 2003 - ”The Spoon of Taste” 2007 by Lilla Sällskapet - "Årets Werner" 2008 by Restauranger & Storhushåll - Member of Eurotoques - "La Dance" by M Sandahl Foundations WOW!!
