It was over 2 years ago now when I was in London and scheduling video shoots for my web site, www.todaysworldkitchen.com
The site at the time was really just a static page though the content was adding up quickly and there were some really positive signs.
Being a new and unique web site I understood some chefs reluctance to participate in my project but I also understood that were we to get a few big 'names' on board that the site would earn some credibility making it appealing to other chefs to contribute.
When I received an email from Peggy Li at L'Atelier in London that chef Olivier Limousin was willing to contribute to the site I was absolutely elated.
I can remember quite clearly walking into L'Atelier at our prearranged time and thinking to myself that it was like walking into a super cool temple or place of worship.
Everything about L'Atelier was stylish and full of class, the attention to detail phenomenal.
Of course I was nervous but once I was introduced to Olivier the nerves just disappeared. Here was a guy who was just cool, confidant, totally relaxed and incredibly talented.
The following are just a few snippets from the web;
