It is only then that the young Matias discovered his passion for cooking after attending a cooking class in his free time, and decided to turn it into his full-time job. His talent and perseverance rewarded him: at the age of<strong> 18<\/strong> he was already managing a team of <strong>40<\/strong> people as an executive chef in a chain of Italian restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>However, it was only upon his arrival in <strong>Italy<\/strong>, at the age of<strong> 21<\/strong>, that Matias realised he had yet to learn the basics of the &#8220;true&#8221; cuisine of the Bel Paese. Thanks to a friend he joined the staff of the now famous Milanese restaurant <a href=\"http:\/\/pontdeferr.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Al\u00a0Pont de Fer<\/strong><\/a>, whose reins he would take a few years later. While initially the restaurant was catering to a crowd seeking to taste the simple dishes of the Milanese tradition &#8211; such as pasta and beans, tripe, risotto &#8211; the advent of Matias gave space to original and refined tasting menus. In <strong>2011<\/strong>, the ability to revamp the rustic Milanese osteria menu into a gastronomic selection for gourmet palates earned him a <strong>Michelin star<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Four years later, Matias opened his first restaurant in Milan &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.contrastemilano.it\/it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contraste&#8221;<\/a>; a place appreciated to such an extent that it is advisable to book well in advance.

His smile is open and spontaneous, while his light Spanish accent is set to make every woman\u2019s head turn, in particular those over <strong>40<\/strong>, who are especially sensitive to the charm of Latin Lovers. Matias Perdomo is a truly fine specimen&#8230; of a chef. But behind his undeniable &#8220;sexiness&#8221; lies a child who\u2019s never tired of experimenting, testing himself and pursuing his dream. <strong>Passionate about art and often surrounded by his artist friends &#8211; Alessandro Ciffo, Matteo Pugliese and Alessandro Busci, to mention just a few &#8211; Matias Perdomo is <em>the<\/em>under 40 chef to interview&#8230; and follow on social media!

Now we are giving it one more shot, because you&#8217;re good &#8230; and manzo! (literally \u2018beef\u2019 in Italian, here used as \u2018stud muffin\u2019 &#8211; ed.). Haha, jokes aside (to a certain extent): we decided to see you again to talk about your restaurant, Contraste. Or better, about both your restaurants, as you have recently opened a second called <strong>Exit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>M.P<\/strong>: I\u2019ll tell you all you want to know but please, don\u2019t call me <em>manzo<\/em>&#8230; it does sound awful! To be honest, back then I wanted to go to <strong>France<\/strong>. Since the very beginning of my career my dream was to work in the birthplace of haute cuisine, discover the culinary secrets of the greatest chefs&#8230; But at the time, with no real network or support, it was everything but easy. In <strong>Uruguay<\/strong> it was not very &#8220;fashionable&#8221; to be a chef and, despite being a good one, I didn\u2019t know anyone who could hook me up. Yet I didn\u2019t despair, I knew that one way or another I would make it. As it turns out, it wasn\u2019t long before I had the chance to leave for <strong>Italy<\/strong>. I did not need to think twice about it and just set off!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wakapedia:\u00a0<\/strong>You did well! We are happy to have welcomed such a piece of m &#8230; that is, of chef! Your restaurants exude a great deal of creative flair.. Where does this imagination of yours come from?<\/p>\n<p><strong>MP:\u00a0<\/strong>In my personal experience, <strong>the creative process comes above all out of curiosity; and curiosity comes alongside doubts, fears, uncertainties &#8230; a pinch of tension and anxiety are fundamental driving forces for experimentation, as they push you to overcome your limits.<\/strong> First and foremost, when approaching a recipe I always go back to the basics, that is: when I wish to revisit a recipe, I study the ingredients, the products and their origins, the memory of the taste associated with it. A recipe must be understood and respected, before revisiting it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wakapedia:\u00a0<\/strong>The memory of the taste associated with it&#8230; what a beautiful expression! It reminds us of the metaphor of the madeleine (French traditional small cake \u2013 ed.) described by <strong>Proust<\/strong> in his &#8220;In Search of Lost Time&#8221;. Are literature and art sources of inspiration for you?<\/p>\n<p><strong>M.P:\u00a0<\/strong>Good question! I think we are living in a &#8216;nomadic&#8217; period, by which I mean that we all draw inspiration from many different creative fields, be it fashion, design, art, cinema and so forth&#8230; Each one of us sets their own reference point. <strong>In my case, I draw the aesthetic inspiration for my dishes by observing my surroundings and from the desire to create original and ambivalent shapes.<\/strong> A lasagna could be a donut, a strawberry can become a Piedmontese tartare, a Lego brick a fruit salad, a bottle of Campari a cheesecake and so on. Despite this, I am currently thinking of stepping away from the figurative sphere.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5071\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9401-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9401-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9401-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9401-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9401-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9401-210x140.jpg 210w, https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9401-240x160.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wakapedia:\u00a0<\/strong>How so?! Your dishes look so cute and fun! Do you want to become an abstract chef?<\/p>\n<p><strong>M.P:\u00a0<\/strong>Haha why not, or maybe a cubist! In the first place, I do not want to jeopardize the possibility of experimenting at its fullest. Any language I decide to employ shall remain intelligible; if abstract, I do not want it to appear as a visual deception. I want the choice of textures, shapes and colours of the dishes to be linked to a flavour profile, therefore to the very essence of the ingredients my dishes are made of. In order to achieve it, I go back to where it all started &#8211; the core of the recipe, in the literal sense of the term.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b><span lang=\"DE\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5072 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9414-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"202\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9414-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9414-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9414-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9414-600x900.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px\" \/><\/span><\/b>Wakapedia:\u00a0<\/strong>Now, that\u2019s intriguing! And how do you get there?<\/p>\n<p><strong>M.P:\u00a0<\/strong>I observe the ingredients under a microscope, the molecular structure of a product; then; I reproduce it in my dishes, and strive for consistency in texture and flavor. With this procedure the source of aesthetic inspiration becomes the product itself. It&#8217;s a peculiar path the one I\u2019m treading and investigating: I want it to be exclusively mine, and not inspired by something or someone else. I am not claiming it is a gastronomic revolution; it is simply the direction I am moving into right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wakapedia: <\/strong>Am I having a conversation with <strong>Picasso<\/strong> or what?! But listen to me, my artist&#8230; Having already got one for Pont de Fer, when will you get a Michelin star for Contraste?<\/p>\n<p><strong>M.P:\u00a0<\/strong>I got one this year. One day they came to the restaurant and said &#8220;Congratulations, you got a star.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wakapedia:\u00a0<\/strong>Ah, apologies&#8230; We missed that one out! You\u2019ve caught us unprepared! And when you receive this sort of accolade what do you say, thank you?<\/p>\n<p><strong>M.P:\u00a0<\/strong>What should I say? Hahahah. I said &#8220;Ok, thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wakapedia:\u00a0<\/strong>How important is it for a chef to get a Michelin star?<\/p>\n<p><strong>M.P:\u00a0The star is the ultimate recongition of the effort you\u2019ve put into your work; yet, you have to understand that if there are stars that make a restaurant shine, there are also many restaurants that are not given any and still shine thanks to the energy and talent of their chefs. There\u2019s no doubt that a Michelin star gives you great satisfaction and works as some sort of a scale for chefs; but above all, it\u2019s an added value for customers, publicity playing a major role in influencing people\u2019s opinion.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wakapedia:<\/strong> A number of chefs have&#8221;rebelled&#8221; against the Michelin rating system. What\u2019s your take on that?<\/p>\n<p><strong>M.P:\u00a0<\/strong>I think a chef shouldn\u2019t give their best for the sake of getting a star, but first and foremost because they are the engine and the soul of their restaurant. Let\u2019s take as an example: <strong>S\u00e8bastian Bras<\/strong>, the French chef who went as far as rejecting the<strong> 3<\/strong> Michelin stars his restaurant had been honoured with since <strong>1999<\/strong>. Too much pressure, too much media exposure&#8230; in the end, the stars were more of a nusiance than an incentive.<\/p>\n<p>I sympathise with him: you should not be influenced by the number of stars you\u2019ve been given; on the contrary, you should be the one influencing others by transmitting your enthusiasm, talent, and creativity. In order to enjoy the path you\u2019ve chosen you need to live it fully, without necessarily aiming at this purpose. <strong>If you spend your whole career trying to get the star, you\u2019ll lose much of the pleasure of doing your job; especially when you find that reaching that much coveted &#8220;status symbol&#8221; is often what fucks you up.<\/strong> Because when you have reached it you no longer live the way you did before: you\u2019ve entered the \u2018club of the grown ups\u2019, and you have to do everything you can to remain in this safe and privileged role. Not being sure of anything is what keeps you alive. I do not want a star, or a prize, for it to affect my life: I just want to be free to choose.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5073\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9451-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9451-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9451-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9451-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9451-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9451-210x140.jpg 210w, https:\/\/www.wakapedia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/4D7A9451-240x160.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wakapedia:\u00a0<\/strong>So can we chuck this one in the bean?<\/p>\n<p><strong>M.P:\u00a0<\/strong>To put it simply: for me it\u2019s just not <em>the\u00a0<\/em>target, but still something gratifying; then, if its attribution goes hand in hand with the creative path you\u2019ve chosen, with the philosophy of your restaurant, even better.
