Cook and author Ixta Belfrage is a firm believer in the expressive potential of fusion cooking. Her cooking is rooted in a childhood in Italy and familial connections to Mexico and Brazil. After developing her craft at Yotam Ottolenghi's restaurant NOPI and the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen, Ixta's first solo cookbook, Mezcla, embraced the flavours of Mexico and Italy. Her new book, Fusão is inspired by the food of Brazil.
Guests:
