The Taste of My Steps is a deeply personal culinary memoir that captures the soul of a chef whose journey is guided by curiosity, culture, and the power of food. From the quiet hills of Italy to the canals of the Netherlands, from the icy winds of Kazakhstan and Belarus to the tropical breeze of the Seychelles, through the vibrant streets of the Middle East (UAE and Qatar) and into the heart of Asia—each step unfolds a new world of flavor.
Chef Daniele Chiari takes you beyond fine dining and into the alleys of street markets, the warmth of humble kitchens, and the silent beauty of remote places. Through recipes, reflections, and cultural encounters, he reveals how food can tell stories, build bridges, and celebrate our shared humanity.
This is not just a cookbook, nor just a travel diary. It’s a tribute to resilience, discovery, and passion. The Taste of My Steps invites readers to follow not only the journey of a chef but of a man who learned that every flavor has a memory, and every dish is a dialogue between worlds.
