This is an interesting story. I think I missed his connection to the Dominican Republic:

"Olivier was born and raised in Switzerland with his Swiss mother making typical Dominican foods for him every day. He still felt disconnected from Dominican food and life there..."

Is his father Dominican, or why did his Swiss mother cook Dominican food for him in Switzerland?

As a gastronomer I'm curious. Also, my mother's side of the family is Dominican and I was raised there in my early youth - piquing my curiosity further.

There is a typo there, thanks for pointing it out. His mother is Dominican (and father Swiss).
