With playful, delicious reimaginings of beloved Italian dishes, Massimo Bottura has become one of the world’s most influential Italian chefs and a visionary among culinary connoisseurs. His three-Michelin-star Osteria Francescana restaurant in Modena, Italy, has been rated best in the world, topping The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list in 2016 and again in 2018.

From “Tortellini Walking on Broth” to the “Five Ages of Parmigiano-Reggiano,” Massimo Bottura’s recipes are known for blending art with flavor and breathing new life into traditional Italian cooking. The chef’s passion for zero-waste cooking is an engine for his creativity and activism. When earthquakes damaged thousands of aging Parmesan wheels in his home region of Emilia-Romagna, Massimo helped the industry avoid a potentially devastating loss by introducing and promoting a new recipe: Risotto Cacio Pepe with Parmesan. All of the broken wheels sold. He is also the founder of Food for Soul, which empowers communities to fight food waste.
