Top Chef 2023 : Danny tells the origins of his passion for cooking

Asked by Tele-Leisure, the one who cut his teeth with Pierre Gagnaire indulged in a few confidences about the family passion around cooking. “Very young, when I was 2-3 years old, I made desserts with my grandfather who was a cook. He worked at Lucas Carton (a starred house, Editor’s note), in large houses, he was private chef for the Rothschild family. We are a line of cooks. There’s just my father who skipped his turn by becoming a plumber (laughs). I think I inherited that in spite of myself. I have all my grandfathers’ cookbooks, but I haven’t opened them. I will when I’m a chef. I have their knives that I use though“, he explained to us.
