Sitting outside on the terrace at Carluccio’s in The Dubai Mall, during a visit to promote his autobiography A Recipe for Life, the 75-year-old was on good form. He replies of the question from audience during the visit and share tips for cooking he picked up during his 50 year career.

He told that I was curious to see who I am. When you look back over all those years, you see a pattern emerging. I thought it would be useful to go back over events, to gather together my memories in the reply of the question what made you decide to write an autobiography?

What sort of food do you like to eat? Reply of this question he said that I like authentic dishes, cooked to perfection. It doesn’t matter which cuisine, as long as it’s cooked well. I like garlic, ceps, olive oil, Tomatoes. I love basil the most; when I die, I am organizing to be buried on a bed of basil.

He told that there was a time when I didn’t think I’d live to see the year 2000 and now it is 12 years on. I’ve lost weight – by halving everything I ate – and I feel much healthier now.
