Wojciech Modest Amaro

This post will be dedicated to Wojciech Modest Amaro once again. But this time I will presente some facts about his person, his life and career.

Amaro is, next to Kurt Scheller, world-renowned polish chef and restaurateur. He was born 12 February in 1972 in Sosnowiec. He has graduated electronic technical school. However, he went to Great Britain and got a job in a restaurant. He practiced with chefs such as Alain Ducasse, Yannick AllenAbout, Ferran Adrià. In 2008, awarded by the International Academy of Culinary title "Chef de L'Avenir".

Then in 2011, he opened a restaurant Atelier Amaro in Warsaw, who in 2013 as the first restaurant in Poland, has been awarded a famous Michelin star. For this moment, this is the only polish restaurant to boast such an accomplishment. Amaro is more and more known in the world. He gets numerous invitations from whole world.

He is the author of two books: Nature and Polish cuisine Polish and Cuisine twenty-first century, which in 2010 was awarded the Grand Prix at the International Academy of Gastronomy in Paris.

I have both of them. Ofcourse they are special and traditional, but many products are almost unknown for me. However the beautiful edition of these books (photography, styling, wheel, paper) compensates me this difficulty. That's more album than a book from which I draw my daily inspiration.

In next post I'll tell a little about Amaro's philosophy. Why he cooks, where he searches ideas etc.
