作者簡介:
Mr. Paco
他生於法國,長於西班牙,自認是西班牙人。後來,隨雙親移居加拿大的蒙特婁。從廚藝學校畢業之後,極欲探索這個世界,因而來到亞洲。在印度住過2年,卻選擇落腳台灣。他在這座島上住了將近20年,視台灣為他的家。
他在台灣成立第一家專賣薄皮披薩的餐廳Mr. Paco Pizzeria,做得有聲有色,其後又相繼成立2家餐廳,一家是專賣比利時名菜淡菜配薯條的Mussel Shell(淡菜殼),另一家是賣法國小吃的Olala。
同時,他也成立一家製造義大利麵的工廠,供應餐廳、飯店和航空公司,並且推出自創品牌Paco's義大利麵工坊,製作高品質的微波爐食品,商品在許多大型連鎖超市都有賣。
他的生活忙碌而充實,目前手上有很多案子,包括La Mesa(桌子)這家西班牙餐廳的菜色開發,這也是他寫作這本書的靈感來源。
ABOUT MR. PACO
Although he was born in France, he considers himself more Spanish since he grew up in Spain. Later, he moved to Montreal, Canada, with his parents. After his studies, the eager to explore the world brought him to Asia. He went to live in India for 2 years and eventually moved to Taiwan, fell in love with the island and has been living here for 20 years ago. He considers Taiwan as his home.
His first successful restaurant venture was Mr. Paco Pizzeria, which offers one of the first gourmet thin crust pizzas in Taiwan. Then, he went on to establish two more restaurants Mussel Shell, a Belgium “moules & frites,” and Olala!, a French bistro.
In the meantime, Mr. Paco used his entrepreneurship to start a fresh pasta factory, catering to restaurants, hotels, airlines, and launched his own brand Mr Paco’s Fresh Pasta Factory, producing high quality ready meals for big supermarket chains.
He is currently involved in various projects, including his newest creation, La Mesa, a Spanish restaurant which is the inspiration behind this book.
