Massimo Bottura
Kitchen of contemporary Art
Osteria Francescana in Modena. What is it, most famous restaurant in Italy or one of the best Art Galleries? And the Kitchen behind – is it really only a kitchen or more an artist’s workshop of an artistic genius? Who like a Jackson Pollock hurls out his creations that are full of emotion and soul.
Massimo Bottura is always ready to describe his work with philosophical sentences. These are stories and experiences from Nature, of his childhood and his homeland that inspire him. Basically he works with products from his region, which are transformed by his genius to vanguard pieces of art.
A snowfield melts standing before the guest and the hidden delicious green turns out. Behind a camouflage on a plate a rabbit hides away and an apparent simple Risotto turns out to a brilliant Parmesan orgy.
Without doubts autodidact Massimo Bottura is an exceptional person.
In 2011 he was awarded with the Chef’s Choice of World’s 50 Best Restaurants Academy. Selected “best Chef” by his own colleagues. In 2016 and 2018, he topped the list of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants, and today he is part of the Best of The Best Olympus. Since 2011, three stars have adorned Osteria Francescana. More is not possible.
