Jin Hyon An

This is Jin Hyon An, she makes high-end mattresses from recycled plastic bottles in a small workshop on the upper floor of an old industrial building on via Tripoli, in Florence. They are superb, costly and in high demand with an order backlog of eight months but Jin herself makes very little money for her hard work. Her fiancee,  Sebastiano Piombo, got her a job as a prep-cook at La Minerva where he is a sous-chef. Jin experimented at home perfecting a white-bean salad with balsamic vinegar and a virgin olive oil - parsley - white pepper foam with a secret ingredient (nutmeg). Sebastiano took the recipe to the restaurant as his own creation and got it on the menu with great praise from the head chef. Jin got mad (like hopping Korean, white-hot furious mad) and threw him out of their apartment ... she suspected for a while that Sebastiano is cheating on her anyway.
