A close up of Mariana Müller, Argentinian chef from restaurant Cassis in Bariloche, Patagonia. The chef gave a lecture with fellow countryman Hernan Luchetti of Celler de Can Roca. The topic was sour cuisine: the extraordinary vinegars she makes with great passion. She’ll present these during a lesson at Identità Milano, on Saturday 4th March at 11.30
The guest nation in the 15th edition of Madrid Fusion is Argentina. The crowd of white-and-blue chefs and producers invaded Palacio Municipal de Congresos with remarkable energy and ideas. Of the many events scheduled, we were particularly struck by the lesson held by Mariana Müller, patron chef at Cassis in Bariloche, la capital de los lagos, in Patagonia, for the past twenty years. A very talented professional, whose capacity is certified by a several titles as “best female chef in Argentina”, given by magazines in her country, and by Paolo Marchi, who asked her to speak in Milan too, in little over a month, within the Identità Naturali section.
In the multi-functional room in Madrid, “la China”, this is how they call her back home given her vaguely oriental traits (though German blood runs in her veins), held a ponencia on sour cuisine, with fellow countryman Hernan Luchetti, an important pawn in the ironclad Celler de Can Roca in Gerona, Cataluña.
