Chef Adi Hădean: #LoveAllFeedAll
When asked if he has a short description that we could fit in this little booklet his reply was short, and to the point: “Yes, I do. Please write the following about me: #loveallfeedall“
When Chef Radu asked him about the selection of meats for this event, they spent hours discussing textures, techniques and plating.
So, we kept on asking ourselves: Why love all and feed all?
Well the question seems quite complex, but the answer is quite simple: when you hold a deep passion for food, gastronomy & everything connected to this industry, you want to share this experience with the rest of the world. Chef Hădean will always remain a symbolic figure amongst the Romanian gastronomy and local cultural cuisine.
ABOUT ADI HĂDEAN – The Chef & The Gastronomy Lover
“The real evolution is to learn something new every day – it’s very important for chefs to share what they have discovered” – Alain Ducasse.
Started his career working at a local radio station when he was just 17 and he kept on loudly speaking to the people about the world, life, joy and music for 13 years straight.
In 2002 he started making cooking shows for big names within the TV industry, then published his first book in 2003.
After Mr. Hădean decided to retire from press life he ended up pursuing a career in marketing, first as a marketing specialist and then as a brand manager in the food industry. In the meantime, he found out that he can live well by following his lifetime passion – cooking.
“I became a professional chef with a diploma (I understand it is important for some), a restaurant consultant and, not to mention the writing part, a blogger. I decided to write about food, whilst developing my passion for photography.”
In January 2015 the Adi Hădean Association was established, with the main purpose of promoting projects that involve the Romanian cuisine, as well as various actions in the culinary and social field.
The association is an important project, with a major impact on the life of several communities and events that Chef Adi Hădean has supported and promoted over time: from humanitarian projects or involvement in social cases which he resonates with (A lunch cooked at the end of 2014 for 100 Bucharest retired people), to actions meant to focus on nutrition and nutritional aspects for kindergarten children (“Farfurii Curate” project held in kindergartens in Cluj-Napoca) or targeted projects to emphasize the importance of authentic Romanian dishes (Taste of Romania).
Chef Adrian Hădean: “Having said that, I would like to conclude with this thought: I like to smile more than I like to frown. Smiling is a healer. I wish the same for you.”
