"I think a chef, too, is an artist, who visualises and plates his dish just like an artist works on his painting," says Maiano, who likes to listen to Italian music while showing his culinary skills in the kitchen.
"Sometimes, it is rock music of the '70s and '80s," he adds. He also believes in respecting local ingredients and using a simplistic approach to cooking. Here, he shares the recipe of a Roast Chicken Carpaccio.

Interestingly, Carpaccio is a dish dedicated to Italian painter Vittore Carpaccio who incorporated a lot of red shades in his works. "Traditionally, Carpaccio is made with beef. But now, it is also made with chicken or fish," explains Chef Maiano.
