Chef is breath of fresh air for Cyprus economy
June 6, 2018
AGNIESZKA RAKOCZY meets a chef who is keen to evolve his own style of cuisine and who has his eye on a Michelin star being given in Cyprus
It is difficult to figure out someone so concentrated and focussed on realising his aspirations and achieving his future goals that he views any discussion of his past as an unnecessary diversion, one that might slow him down from reaching his destination and fulfilling his life’s quest. Yet how to comprehend, much less appreciate, so determined and driven a figure without stopping along the route he has travelled to savour the stories and better appreciate the experiences, the very dreams, his vision and accomplishments are built upon?
I am talking here about Petros Andrianou, the 38-year-old, Paris-trained professional chef, and founder of 3 Forks Lab. Hailed as one of the most creative cooks in Cyprus, knowing enthusiasts who might otherwise turn up their noses at being called foodies regard him as the new hope, a breath of fresh air on the tired scene of local gastronomy.
