‘My cooking is the result of a perfect synergy between my mind, my heart, and my tummy. There is thought behind it, but the common thread is pleasure.’
Marcello Trentini is an eclectic, radical, creative chef - and yet very rigorous.
Born out of a ‘subsistence’ cuisine in the early days, to eventually land in the more sought-after gastronomy world, Marcello draws on his Piemontese roots but he is also a nomad, having travelled the world extensively.
A daring innovator who enjoys combining flavours and techniques, he is capable of reinterpreting traditional recipes and evolving them into something more daring, ultimately offering a contemporary cuisine without frontiers, or what he calls ‘cucina contaminata’-contaminated cuisine.
Beyond Magorabin AND the nearby Casa Mago bistro, Marcello is busy consulting, training, attending conferences and food festivals worldwide, still being able to enjoy what he is doing after so many years.
