As usual, during the Christmas holidays I’ve met family and friends to celebrate and, above all, ate like there’s no tomorrow. As if eating weren’t enough, during these holidays I also discussed about food with someone very special in the sector: Simone Scipioni, last season’s Masterchef Italy winner. He’s very young — he was born in 1996 —, he lives in Montecosaro, Marche, and he’s been so kind as to spend some time with me to answer my questions.

What’s it like to take part in and above all to win a competition such as Masterchef? It was a great surprise to participate and experiencing the pleasure of winning was wonderful! It was a new situation for me, I was quite anxious and worried, but it’s been fun. I met many people and I was fully focused on the competition. I really couldn’t be more satisfied!
