In a restaurant kitchen, inflation creeps into every dish. The gas rose 42.4%dairy products experienced an increase of 8%, and the meat of 8.3%. Cooking has become more expensive for the chef. “This piece costs me ten euros more than four, five months ago“, he said, pointing to a rib of beef. So he decided to raise some prices on his card. The map has grown approximately 4% compared to the previous year.
