“Probably a passion acquired by my mother, skilled cook of game: cooking is more than a passion, indeed a perpetuation of what hunting really is, the final act.

Without this, it does not make sense to me to hunt.

Cooking game means emotion, discovering new techniques, savoring, being with family and trying to convey positive feelings to my children and friends through a dish.

Without the claim of too elaborate dishes, I will try to take you with me and to pass on my passion”

- Michele Benetti, Hunter Masorin -
