Tosca - Chef Tosca

A perfectly prepared salad makes Tosca's soul sing.

Tosca - Chef Tosca

For Tosca, it starts with an inspiration, followed by an idea, testing, tasting, feedback, more testing and finally the perfect recipe. According to Tosca, recipes can always evolve. Because the beauty of cooking is that one recipe can give rise to a hundred different creations, all tailored to a person's individual taste.

Everything inspires me. Nature, ingredients, people, books, restaurants, other chefs, social media, and memories from my childhood.

Tosca loves making her own gnocchi and has been vegan for years. There is always some soya sauce in her fridge and she listens to music from the 60s & 80s in the kitchen. Discover her favourite ingredients and find out how her own kitchen creations are made.

Do you have a "secret ingredient" that gives your dishes that special edge?

I have two secret ingredients: nutritional yeast and lemon. Nutritional yeast adds incredible depth of flavor, while lemon brightens and enhances every dish.

Which scent brings back happy memories for you?

The smell of banana bread baking in the oven always brings me back. My mom used to bake the most delicious banana breads when I was growing up.

What food can't you stand?

Honestly, I love all foods. Sadly, I’m allergic to bell peppers, which I adore for their flavor. Such a shame.

What's the most important spice or seasoning in your kitchen (apart from salt and pepper)?

A good spice mix from my local épicier. Right now, I’m loving dukkah with cumin, thyme, paprika, fennel seeds, sesame, and sumac.

How do your culinary creations come about?

It starts with inspiration, followed by an idea, testing, tasting, feedback, more testing, and finally the perfect recipe. I believe recipes are always evolving. The beauty of cooking is how one recipe can become a hundred different creations, each tailored to someone’s unique taste.

Which kitchen utensil can't you live without?

My Japanese chef’s knife.

Right now, I’m obsessed with soups. They’re so comforting in winter, and the variety is endless. I have a special soft spot for onion soup.
