A liver burger on a licorice bun, accompanied with chips, sweet wine mayonnaise and mango ketchup. That's what Cristina Bowerman served up during the culinary expo "Taste of Rome" in mid-September. The 49-year-old chef doesn't seem to be afraid of anything, especially not of serving a small, industrial-looking sandwich to hundreds of gourmets, or of dying her hair pink and shaving half of it off.
Born in Italy, Cristina Bowerman studied law before working in a lawyer's firm. Captivated by the United States, she decided to leave everything behind and study graphic design in San Francisco. It was there that she chose to pursue cooking. Hardly a traditional path to gastronomy, just like the dishes she makes.
