    "description": "<p>Why did Sergio Herman close his three-star restaurant Oud Sluis in the Dutch village of Sluis? Journalist Mara Grimm followed Sergio Herman for a year, interviewing him day and night. They had conversations about Sergio's dreams, his education and the pitfalls of his trade, about feeling stoned from exhaustion, about dancing behind the stove. But most of all: about the addiction of creating and about the illusion of achieving perfection. The booklet \"DESIRE - Sergio Herman, Reflections of a Top Chef\" is a re-issue of the storybook from the luxury edition of DESIRE which sold out in no time earlier this year. This re-issue is enriched with hitherto unpublished material from the last supper at Oud Sluis, including stories and images about the creation of seven dishes by Sergio Herman. All photographs are by Tony Le Duc. The press about DESIRE \"Never before has a writer got so deep under the skin of a starchef.\" <em>Esquire </em>\"The search for magic by a man who cooks fascinating food, captured by a woman who writes breathtakingly well.\" <em>Delicious Magazine </em>\"An emotional rollercoaster</p>",
