When I sat down to watch Chef’s Table documentary on Francis Mallmann I was intrigued by the visuals of the trailers which showed
Argentina’s arguably most high-profile chef cooking lamb with fire in snow with
a stunning landscape as the backdrop.
That intrigue was not misplaced. This documentary, produced
by David Gelb, is an exceptional portrait of a chef who has really returned to
the basics of cooking, using fire in all its possibilities to produce simple
dishes which are full of flavours.
Mallmann explains that today we educate children to be settled and once they have a job, a car and a place to sleep the dreams are dead. “You do not grow on a secure path. All of us should conquer something in life. It needs a lot of work, it needs a lot of risk. To grow and improve you need to be there at the edge of uncertainty.”
