Cooking means making time for others – it’s a way of showing you care. Alberto Ballarín Sansonetti, chef and food expert, brings his Italian roots to the dishes he loves sharing with family and friends. For him, what matters most is being a host and creating a space for care and connection through food and its ingredients.
“Cooking is my way of saying things that are harder to put into words. I’ll never say ‘I love you’, but I might make you pasta alle vongole, which is my favourite, and that means I love you very much.”
“When you invite someone into your home for a meal, you’re also opening the door to something more personal. Cooking is the language of affection. In the dishes I make, I try to reflect something of who they are, or of the friendship we share.”
