Welcome to Flavoritus

The Name

The inception of this platform was deeply inspired by two core elements: my profound passion for taste and flavor, and the rich linguistic roots of Latin. “Flavoritus” combines the essence of ‘flavor’—with the Latin suffix “-itus,” denoting a state or condition. This name, therefore, symbolizes a continuous state of experiencing and savouring exceptional tastes, reflecting my journey through the world of culinary arts.

The choice of the American spelling of “flavor” is deliberate, aiming to embrace a global perspective while acknowledging the diverse audience I aspire to reach. Flavoritus is a homage to the universal language of food, transcending borders and connecting cultures through the shared experience of culinary exploration.

The Story Behind Flavoritus

I’ve always believed that food is much more than just sustenance; it’s a journey that crosses borders and connects people. With Flavoritus, I wanted to build a space where this journey could be shared, where the art of food becomes a medium for connection. From bustling food markets to cosy Parisian bistros, every place I’ve visited has been a source of inspiration, pushing me to bring those stories and flavors to your screen.

There’s something uniquely calming and satisfying about it for me, whether it’s a casual meal in a café or an elegant dinner in a Michelin-starred restaurant.
