Cornel is extremely well educated with his PhD, he is very well spoken at a fast pace! I loved how he spoke off the cuff, and very intelligently. Which was a delight. He speaks about upbringing on the countryside in Romania – proudly – and learning from his family and an important relationship with his professor who was 80 when he started his PhD! Take a look at his website for more about the company.

I was quiet but engaged the entire time – if you miss something I strongly recommend you repeat the section. He speaks about bringing his beautiful caviar product to the top chefs in Canada – He was incredibly open about his process of work, his passion as a person, and interest of tying in the knowledge from his PhD into his business. Extremely gracious as well.
There was much to discuss from a technical standpoint – and he speaks about the importance of learning from mistakes – and including the fact that wild should be the standard. There’s more – speaking to changes in food and the food culture, and local ingredients a few times and policies affecting food supply. Cornel speaks at 65min about what is Canadian dish and some of his comments are quite lovely.
A recent book about a feast in the middle ages – listen in a bit more closer to the end of the podcast.
