“Better to cook for those you love than those with a wallet.” Truer words were never spoken.

Yeees BBC putting up 16 min clips of Marco philosophising about his life. This is the way. So inspiring, it makes you want to get up out of your chair and follow your dreams.

" I knocked on the door, part of me wished the door wouldn't open". We have all been there, overcome by nerves but luckily, the door does open.

Marco should be someone awarding the Michelin stars. He has everything regarding the judging process.

What this man describes is universally true and not restrained to cooking. These kind of people should be the ones generations look up to and learn from.

@6:31 reminds me of an old saying in the music business, "you have your whole life to write your first hit record, then you have 6 months to write your next one"

It's almost midnight.

I'm a programmer but my father raised me to cook well and to find love and freedom in cooking.

I was not prepared to start crying today.
