Author’s Information

Owner chef of "Ristorante Acqua Pazz". He runs the YouTube channel "Yoshimi Hidaka's ACQUA PAZZA Channel" and the cooking videos he uploads every Friday are a big hit. The number of subscribers to the video site has exceeded 120,000. He moved to Europe in 1986. In Italy, he worked and learned from Michelin-starred restaurants and top chefs of the time. He then trained at 14 restaurants from north to south. He realized that the greatest appeal of Italian cuisine is in the local cuisine. The current name of the restaurant is the name of a fish dish that Chef Hidaka encountered in southern Italy. Acqua Pazza is now a popular dish that is uploaded to many recipe sites, but Chef Hidaka is a true pioneer who spread this recipe throughout Japan. As one of the chefs leading the Italian cuisine world in Japan, he advocates cooking that makes the most of the natural flavors of ingredients such as seafood and vegetables. In 2020, when the restaurant industry was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, he discovered the power of cooking through videos and became a YouTuber and active chef. He is attracting attention as a new Italian evangelist. (This information was available at the time this book was published.)
