'Ni Hao Ciao' with Marta Sandini

With a journey taking her from Italy to Australia, China & Slovenia, cooking at elite restaurants at every step of the way, Chef Marta Sandini's cooking style is as iconoclastic as her life experience. From working under the tutelage of world-renowned Chef-Patron Ana Ros (of Netflix's Chef's Table fame) at her world-famous haunt Hisa Franko in Slovenia, to running an Italian restaurant in Shandong, China, and training at Heston Blumenthal's Dinner, to name just some of her wild adventures . It was her time in China, however, which provided the inspiration for her table&candle series, and her exploration of the wonderfully rarefied, yet synergistic, fusion of Italian and Chinese cookery.
