Mission
By 2024, one of the best-selling salads at L’ETO on Bluewaters Island in Dubai wasn’t on the menu. Waiters rang it up ingredient by ingredient; guests asked for it at other L’ETO branches, where nobody knew what they meant.
It was my salad. I never pitched or named it. Other people did.
At fifteen, I got serious about one question: what goes on my plate and what it does to my energy, skin and brain. I’m no scientist, just someone who’s spent a lifetime learning from his own body. Years of experimenting left me with a short list of foods that align with the way our bodies evolved. Together they became a dish — my daily source of stability, health and growth.
The paper cup. Hemp hearts, pine nuts, flax — the rest is classified.
Seven years. Same breakfast. A board and a knife. That’s it.
Because You’re Part of Nature
