Mauro Colagreco has wronged his colleagues Antonino Cannavacciuolo and Carlo Cracco. Nobody expected this, how will they react?
Many thanks to the beloved cooking talent Master chef As the seasons progressed, we had the opportunity to discover secrets and cooking techniques that were sometimes unknown to us.
Not only. We also met several star chefs who, as guests of the program, have become familiar faces even to those who are not in their profession or have never set foot in their renowned restaurants.
And in case anyone ever doubted it, we could see that Italian cuisine is rich in excellences recognized all over the world.
Among the various guests at the talent show was one of the best chefs in the world: Mauro Colagreco. An Argentinian of Italian origin – his grandparents came from Abruzzo – he is the manager of the renowned restaurant Mirazur in Menton, France, just over the border. Although he was received with full honors, his colleagues stumbled.

Even though he’s a great chef today, he didn’t take that path Mauro Colagreco he wanted to travel. In fact, he studies literature, then tries to be an accountant to follow in his father’s footsteps, but then falls in love with cooking. Thanks to his sister, he says, who reminds him how much he enjoyed cooking with his grandmother as a child.
Today he owns several restaurants and his cuisine is considered one of the best. But what’s so special about it?

The sustainable chef
It is precisely his search for 0km materials, often grown in the gardens near his restaurants, that earned him the appointment of UNESCO Ambassador for Biodiversity. Not by chance. He says: “At Mirazur we pay close attention to the issue of food waste. The entire team has been working in this direction for several years: we fertilize the fields that feed us, we cultivate the garden using organic permaculture techniques, we work with a short supply chain of local producers and we use seasonal ingredients. […] We also work with our suppliers to Avoid using plastic“.
