Chef Luciano Monosilio has become one of the youngest Italian chefs to be awarded a Michelin Star, and with a menu that blends both the ancient flavours and techniques of Rome with an innovative 21st century twist, it’s no surprise to us that his recognition is coming thick and fast.
Today, we talk to Alejandro Serrano, the chef of the restaurant that bears his name in Miranda de Ebro (Burgos) and who has become the youngest Spanish chef to be awarded a Michelin star at just 24 years old. In his dishes, he experiments with seafood, mountain tastes and superior-high-quality produce from different parts of the peninsula.
Two Michelin-starred chef Konstantin Filippou knows all about fine dining. Half-Greek, half-Austrian, he not only possesses a talent for creating uniquely blended Mediterranean and Austrian flavours but also embodies the determination required to rise to the top of the Michelin Star list.
Having recently returned from a gastronomic world tour, Michelin Star chef Julia Komp knew that she wanted to share the culinary experience with everyone and anyone. Julia’s new restaurant Sahila, is a non-stop tour of cuisines from around the world, without having to leave Cologne. We were lucky enough to sit down with her and hear how much of an influence her world tour has had on the menu.
Backed by strong principles and meticulous expertise, Silvia Hofmann is at the helm of Barcelona’s Hofmann Group, a collection of award-winning restaurants, cafés, a pastry shop, and a culinary school. We spoke with her to find out how she excels in her multitude of roles, leaves her mark on the brand, and honours her mother’s legacy.
At the renowned Hotel Il Pellicano, the culinary magic of Michelin Star Head Chef Michelino Gioia crafts unforgettable stories and encounters. We sat down with Michelino to find out more about the talent behind his imaginative creations, the particularities of heading the Il Pellicano kitchens, and where we can find him for some downtime in the off-season.
Tucked away on the rugged Norwegian coastline is ‘Under’, Europe’s first underwater restaurant, and the world’s largest. At the heart of this awe-inspiring venture is a symbiosis of Michelin star cuisine and award-winning design. We spoke with Under’s architectural and design firm Snøhetta, as well as head chef Nicolai Ellitsgaard Pedersen, to get all of the exciting details.
