Find out why Michelin-starred chef Nadia Sammut is such a role model
Nadia Sammut is one of those examples worth following… The only Michelin-starred chef with a gluten-free menu, she cultivates micro-hospitality and a regenerative economy by using almost exclusively her own territory. Because customer care is more than just a fleeting luxury, this committed chef is offering a three-day total immersion in ‘the living’. The first step is a mindful walk through the forest, accompanied by mountain guides. This is followed by a plant-based buffet with infusions of plants grown on the estate, and a first meeting in the vegetable garden with a market gardener who explains how the soil is nourished and goes over all the work involved in sowing. In the evening, the gastronomic experience takes full effect in 11 parts.
The following day, Nadia Sammut usually invites a player from the living culture sector to give a private talk and fuel the discussions. “It’s important to pass on what we see, experience and support every day, as chefs and producers. That’s what real luxury is all about these days: providing tangible access to committed worlds, and being committed to the end… with homemade kefirs in the mini-bar, sustainable bedding, etc.”
