Margots Kitchen invites the talented Brazilian elBulli apprentice chef Gabriel Vidolin to create a wonderful 6 course real food dinner for 4 nights only.

Gabriel is a highly experienced chef, with training in classical French cuisine as well as a stab at the culinary avant-garde experiments of the likes of the Catalan elBulli. His cookery roots, nevertheless, are firmly placed in his hometown, back in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo. Here is how Gabriel tells it:

“I started to work when I was 8 years old, in my mother’s ice-cream shop. It was also when my grandmother started to teach me how to cook. At the age of 16, I started a cookery course and went for hands-on training at Le Pré Catelan (a starred restaurant owned by the Lenôtre group), in Rio de Janeiro. The chef Roland Villard sent me to France to train at the Lenôtre pâtisserie, and I hit the world.”

Gabriel worked in highly prestigious restaurants, like the Michelin 3-star elBulli, the Spanish Mugaritz e El Poblet, and the Brazilian D.O.M. - all among the best 50 in the world. In 2008, he worked with the Aryanã Institute, in São Paulo, exploring the comfort and therapeutic value of food in treating emotional imbalance.  A year later, he created the Red Lion project in São João da Boa Vista (“my home, my sanctuary”). Set in a small house, the seasonal restaurant provides for a maximum of four people a night a sensorial journey through gastronomy based in traditional cooking. Another project he carries out in the state of Sao Paulo is a bi-monthly feast which brings together small local organic producers. (You can see some of Gabriel’s creations in here)
