Giovanni understands the entire holistic enjoyment of preparing and eating beautiful food with great love and care. There is nothing precious about Giovanni’s work - it is salt of the earth good food.” - Julietta Dexter ,London.
For my 60th birthday, Giovanni prepared dinner for 30 guests in my chalet in Verbier. The food was delicious, first he served canapés and crudités with ‘bagnacauda’, ‘crostini di fegatini’, then ‘malfatti’ and braised beef shin lasagna.To top it all, I blew out my candles, on the best Mont Blanc I ever had..Simply fantastic! What can I say? A real success, my guest were all blown away by the perfect balance of the dinner and they all asked for his number. - Giorgio Makula
