Documentary

Virgilio Martinez is much more than a chef, he is an artist. Although his Central restaurant in Lima, Peru, is considered to be the best of the decade in Latin America and number 2 in the world, and his wife Pía León is considered to be the world's best female chef, his inspiration, research and creative work goes much further than these recognitions. Virgilio is an explorer of Peru's different regions, giving its origin to the revolutionary concept of the "World in Altitudes", based on the elevations of the earth that forever changed the way local gastronomy is seen in today's world.

    As a documentary by Netflix is very informative and shows well the passion and project for both of the Chef's Virgilio Martínez Véliz and Pía Léon (of Central, in Peru, the best restaurant of the world) since the beginning of the project to the new project's of his wife and ex sous chef Pía León - they married in 2013 (Kjolle, annex to the Central) and new projects like Mater Initiative that collects true interaction with comunes data and promote local business in the search new ingredients. From the design of plates and interior to the search of new ingredients, and evolution of the projects and their lives since the beginning. Not a movie to everyone, but surely a great documentary for everyone that enjoys gastronomy as I do. Score: 8.5 out of 10.0 / A -
