Coffee and Gianduja Muslin with Three Chocolate Mousse and Banana Ice Cream

French by birth, Spanish by origin, Basque at heart, and Mexican by conviction, Mikel Alonso is one of the most recognized chefs internationally. His philosophy is summarized in a basic concept: To be a good cook, you must start by being a good person, which he acquired during his time at the Luis Irizar Cooking School in San Sebastián, Spain. Here he learned to love and respect the product, to pamper the technique so that it serves the product, and to honor and protect the profession of being a chef.
