Behind the scenes — Scallop Preparation

Before the plate reaches the table, there’s precision behind every detail.

Fresh scallops, carefully cleaned and prepared by hand, with every trim and cut considered. For me, great cooking starts long before the final presentation — respecting the ingredient, understanding its texture, and bringing out its natural sweetness.

This is the part guests don’t always see: quiet preparation, sharp focus, and attention to detail.

From the sea to the plate — the Velvet Knife way.
