Nicholas is a 27 year-old young man from Canada who has only been in Taiwan for merely 7 weeks when we did the interview, but within that short time frame, he managed to visit all of the popular nightspots in Taipei.
Nick is currently employed by the Landis Taipei Hotel as the chef of La Brasserie Restaurant. This is certainly not a common position for someone his age. He feels that he was hired due to his training and experiences, and the willingness to try creative new ideas, as well as his easy going personality, and we have to agree. Any hotel owner would be delighted to have a chef that can cook as well as entertain the guests.
Nick talked to us about the fascinating similarities between sugar and glass before the interview, he can basically create anything with sugar that you can do with glass. He has once worked for over 30 continuous hours in extreme heat to build a life-sized eatable jukebox. We are looking forward to seeing more of his amazing creations in Taipei.
來自加拿大的Nicholas今年僅27歲,訪問當天抵達台灣才七個星期,但幾乎已經逛遍台北知名的夜店。
Nicholas受聘於亞都麗緻大飯店,擔任巴賽麗廳主廚。這個職位以他的年紀來說,絕對是非常年輕的。他自認受聘的原因除了他受過專業訓練、以及年輕人的敢於嘗試新點子,還有個性隨和。的確,我們覺得他非常有親和力。聘雇一位有才華的主廚,奉送公關能力,我想任何老闆都很樂意。
訪問前Nicholas與我們閒聊糖與玻璃奇妙的相似性,任何可以用玻璃製作的東西,他都能用糖製作出來。他曾經連續三十幾個小時,在高溫下用糖製作了一個實體大小,並且可以食用的音樂點唱機,希望以後能在台北看到他別出心裁的作品。
