Chef Gilles Marx of AMUZ is on the air now. In the first episode he shows you how to cook a Simple Snapper Fillet with Mediterranean Vegetable Ratatouille and Basil Pesto in 15 minutes. In six steps, Marx shares French fine-dining ideas for home cooks at the newly revamped AMUZ Gourmet.
“It’s a lovely programme to show people about what’s going on behind the scene where home cooks could see how we (chefs) prepare and present the dishes,” explains Chef Marx to NOW! Jakarta.
Marx also revealed that fine dining doesn’t have to be complicated but it’s all about the taste and presentation. Presentation is key, and you can add a nice table setting, some candlelight, an intimate ambiance and, of course, a bottle of wine or cocktails. As you can see from the first episode, Chef Marx guides us how to make the very simple fine-dining dish that you can cook at home.
