Enter the creative culinary world of Alberto Landgraf, chef and proprietor of one of Latin America’s most celebrated restaurants

Description

Globally acclaimed chef Alberto Landgraf travels widely, demonstrating his uniquely creative, innovative, and intellectual approach to modern Brazilian cuisine. Located in Botafogo, one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro, Oteque is widely considered one the greatest restaurants in Latin America. In this book, Landgraf describes his creative approach in his five guiding principles, which form five chapters, together encompassing the foundation of his methodology: acidity, texture, blocks, leadership, and creative process.

Each of the five chapters begins with a captivating essay by his friend, critic Andrea Petrini. Breathtaking shots of Brazil are paired with images of Landgraf s signature dishes, helping to illustrate his naturalistic approach and connection to terroir. Each of the recipes shows accurate carbon footprint data. Minimising the restaurant s impact on the environment, and considering every aspect of the food chain, are key concerns of Landgraf s, and he has been working closely with a cutting-edge tech team who can accurately calculate the environmental impact of food products, recipes, and raw materials.

About the Author

Alberto Landgraf is one of the most influential chefs in Latin America, and his Michelin-starred restaurant, Oteque, in Rio de Janeiro, frequently ranks in the World's 50 Best restaurants. Brazilian-born, half-German, half-Japanese Alberto switched from Physics to food in his early twenties. Training at London's Westminster College in London, he learnt his trade under the tutelage of culinary luminaries including Tom Aikens and Gordon Ramsay, before returning to Brazil. He opened his first restaurant, Epice, in Sao Paulo in 2011, and launched Oteque in 2018. At Oteque, he coalesces his contemporary, global fine-dining style with indigenous Brazilian ingredients to produce minimalist, world-class food.

Andrea Petrini, born in Italy, resident in France, is a journalist, author and food critic. He is the French president of the jury for The World's 50 Best Restaurants, and founder of Gelinaz food culture festival. He and Alberto have worked closely for years, and his essays are based on a series of extensive interviews about Alberto's life and methodology.
