About the Author

After arriving in France in 2001, the Italian Argentinian chef Mauro Colagreco studied at Lycée Hôtelier de La Rochelle (a hospitality and catering high school), then apprenticed with the leading French chefs (Bernard Loiseau, Alain Passard, Alain Ducasse, Guy Martin). In 2006, he settled in Menton and opened his restaurant, the Mirazur. Six months later, Gault & Millau elected him "Revelation of the Year." In 2007, the Mirazur was awarded its first star by the Guide Michelin and received its second star in 2012.
