ABOUT THE CHEF
Having carved a somewhat unchartered career path, Chef Marta Sandini's journey has taken her from Italy to China, Australia, Slovenia and finally onto London, cooking in elite restaurants at every step of the way, each with wildly unique and impressive culinary ethoses - all of which have contributed to her truly iconoclastic cooking style.
Most notably, Chef Sandini cut her teeth under tutelage of Chef Ana Ros (of Netflix's Chef's Table fame) at her world-famous haunt Hisa Franko in Slovenia (World's Top 50 Restaurants; no.38). It was here that Sandini's cookery moved to new heights, particularly where she sharpened her fermentation and foraging skills.
It was, however, Chef Sandini's time in China that provided the main inspiration for her table&candle menu. It was whilst heading up a restaurant in Shandong that she was able to explore unbridled the rarely explored marriage between Italian and Chinese cookery - "it is often the unlikely marriages that work the best" she preaches, and we are all ears.
