February: Fernando P. Arellano, Spain

In 2010, Arellano and his team moved his restaurant 'Zaranda' from Madrid to Majorca, launching Zaranda at the luxury hotel Castell Son Claret, a renovated historic castle and member of Leading Hotels of the World. Here he gained his second Michelin star in 2015, becoming the only 2-Michelinstarred restaurant in the Balearic Islands. The restaurant offers a sophisticated interior, an attractive courtyard and three tasting menus of extraordinary creations. He describes his style as “cuisine with a traditional essence, an academic heart, an avant-garde character, and a travelling soul”.

Drawing his inspiration from the rich diversity of surrounding areas, Olivier Nasti works with the best local farmers and wine growers to ensure that each creation reflects the true soul of Alsace: intrepid, bold and adventurous like the man himself. In a tough profession, with a punishing schedule, he recharges his batteries “by climbing the peaks at Orbey, near Kaysersberg which look amazing in the snow!”

June: Paul Cunningham, Denmark

"I’d like to think I cook lovely food and I like my sauces and flavors, but I don’t break boundaries, I don’t use fermentation techniques and I don’t use water baths. I just cook with a pan, a block of butter and a piece of fish or some vegetables."
