Hector Jimenez-Bravo: It's hard to kill any animal

Hector Jimenez - Bravo : In the present favorite chef can only name your mom

In the qualifying round before the chefs have set the task - to make a meal out of the snake , which first had to be killed . You will easily kill ?

Of course, at any time, it is difficult to kill any animal , and it does not matter that lobsters , chicken , rabbit and fish . But the work of chefs paired with these moments. Therefore, it is important to do this quickly and least painful way . In the case of the snake is the fastest way to offset the cervical vertebrae and the breaking of the spinal cord. But the displacement of the cervical vertebrae is difficult to do correctly. So what is the safest and fastest way - to separate the head from the body. Never dispose of the animal in the freezer to kill him , it is the most ruthless method .

Hector , in addition to what you are fond of cooking ?

I have a very busy schedule: shooting , business around the world , opening a culinary school in Kiev (which will tell a little bit later , but was looking forward to this event). It often happens that 24 hours a day - it's very little. But I try to spend time close to people. And my second passion after cooking - diving . I can say that many important decisions and good ideas come to me during the dive.
