Globe Summit, Part2: 15th Feb 2011 Chef Mauro

Part2:
15th February 2011 Contemporary Mediterranean Cusine
Chef Mauro Colagreco

Born in Argentina of Italian and Spanish decent. Found his love for gastronomy under the most renowned chefs of France at the time, Bernard Loiseau. Then under the wings of the three Michelin stared Chef Alain Passard, he perfected his craft. In the last village on the French side, on Highway La provance, right before the Italian border; Chef Mauro found his secret spot: A place where he opened The famous Mirazur restaurant. The influence of the great mentor he worked under is evident. if not by the food itself, then by the philosophy of food. Contemporary french cuisine enterprise from Chef Bernard; and the grand infatuation with creme du creme produce from a restaurant's secret garden Chef Passard . Folling his Latter mentor's path Mirazur earned its first Michelin start one year after it's opening. and the year after Chef Mauro was named Chef of the year by the most influential restaurant Guide, Gault Millau. A title that has not been bestowed upon any non-French chef since the creation of the guild in 1965.

Again as the case with Chef Rudolph (Part 1) the ingredients seem to play vital role in his cuisine, yet perhaps the Gardner spirit within Chef Mauro will be the tipping point in the Globe summit, for someone who picks his own produce might be able to find a secret garden in Riyadh.
