MILAN – Wolfgang Puck is a coffee enthusiast and loves to start the day with a shot of espresso from a Nuova Simonelli coffee machine says an article from The Wall Street Journal. In an interview with Chris Kornelis , the world-renowned Austrian-American chef and restaurateur talks about his hobbies and how how he relaxes in his spare time. Here a few interesting passages from the article.
We recently caught up with Chef Wolfgang Puck to quiz him on his go-to gadgets and gear, both when he’s facing the stove at home and otherwise. Here, he shares his kitchen playlist for cooking with his family, identifies the most important piece of culinary equipment he owns and explains how he creates infused vodkas in a matter of hours.
I’m not a big TV-watcher or movie-goer. After a long day, I’d rather take a melatonin and head to sleep. But my wife sometimes gets me interested in a show. Recently she said I had to try ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ on Netflix . I watched it straight through and really enjoyedit. It’s extremely well done.
Often I start my day with juice, a bit of fruit and two double espressos. So, when people ask me what the most important part of my kitchen is, I always say my espresso machine.
It’s a Nuova Simonelli, which is similar to what we use in our restaurants. We like them because they don’t break down. I have my espresso machine on 24-7.
When I was a kid, to make extra money, I picked up tennis balls and cleaned the courts at an Austrian seaside resort where my mother was a chef. When I came to California, I started to play regularly and I love it.
I have a Playmate tennis ball machine so I can take some swings when I’m alone, hit 100 backhands and get a little exercise. The machine never complains or calls a ball out, and she’s always there when I need her.
