One of the World's Best Chefs, Mauro Colagreco,│ and Urban Rooftop Gardening in Paris
For this episode of Paris GOOD food + wine, we have with us one of the world's top chefs, namely Mauro Colagreco. Chef Colagreco's restaurant, Mirazur, near the Italian border in the South of France, was ranked the world's Number 4 Best Restaurant last month by the prestigious and well-respected San Pellegrino World's Top 50 restaurants list. Chef Colagreco also has 2 Michelin stars for Mirazur.
I caught up with him while he was doing a special Chef's dinner at his other restaurant, Le Grand Coeur, in the Marais, here in Paris. He talks to us about the differences between Northern and Southern French cooking.
Next, I get to talk to you straight from the rooftops of Paris. This interview with urban gardener and landscape architect, ChristopheGautrand, took place in the rooftop garden of the Mandarin Oriental Paris Hotel. The inspiration for this came from resident-Executive Chef, the 2-Michelin star Thierry Marx. With Christophe's help, Chef Marx uses his Parisian rooftop garden to grow herbs that infuse his dishes for Sur Mesure, his restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Paris. Grown up here are fragrant herbs like curry plant and strawberry mint which smell exactly like their names imply: respectively curry and fresh mint crushed with strawberries.
