Watch Chef Georges put all three sauces to work across entirely different dishes.

For Chef Luca, understanding an ingredient means discovering the value held within every part.

Sourced from the waters of Mazara del Vallo, Luciano Giacalone’s Gambero Rosso and Gambero Viola are flash-frozen to preserve the freshness, sweetness and delicate texture that define them.

With the season calling for lighter, more refreshing creations, this cold bisque gazpacho offers a timely expression of the ingredient. The tails take centre stage, while the heads and shells are slowly transformed into a rich, deeply flavoured bisque, ensuring that nothing is overlooked.

It’s a no-waste approach that honours the ingredient while celebrating the full potential of these extraordinary Sicilian prawns.

Geopolitical volatility is starting to feel like the new normal. The question is no longer whether it will affect the industry. It is how to lead through it anyway. As Rizwan puts it: ‘It’s a scary time, it’s a difficult situation. But opportunity is there. Let’s go.”

“I love the pressure. Learning never ends.”

Growth in hospitality is felt in the familiar faces who return, the trust built over time, and the care that stays through every chapter.
