Interview with Vasilis Chamam
Hello!
This is a bonus episode; I had interviewed -a few months back- a chef that I known for a long time and I rate him highly.
Relatively "new" in the scene, I find his creations and food fascinating. An amalgamation of the essential Greek and Middle Eastern cuisine;
A fresh perspective that gives a really really mouthwatering result!
We talk about the influence of Ottoman and Arabian cuisines in Greek foods; the cross-pollination and constant exchange of ideas between the different Mediterranean cuisines and how brunch become the must have part of every cafe and restaurant in London.
We touch lightly on my favourite thing, the absolutely divine kokoretsi; lamb's offal wrapped in intestine and slowly roasted over a charcoal fire. Just delicious!
OK, below I have some links on Vasilis's creations and Catalyst Roasters coffee shop where he works!
