World’s most revolutionary Russian chef

Anatoly Kazakov is a celebrity in Russia. He began his career in renowned restaurants in Italy. He has won a wealth of awards, including the silver ‘Silver Triangle’ competition in 2012, which also earned him the trophy for ‘Best Young Chef’. Six months later, he reached the final of the ‘S. Pellegrino Cooking Cup’, a spectacular culinary competition in which top chefs from around the world cook in the galley of a sailing ship during a nail-biting sailing race in Venice.

Stoking the fire

Chef Anatoly is proud of Russian ingredients. His style is characterised by simplicity, elegance and pure flavours. Tradition and local ingredients are combined with modern techniques. Kazakov is also a master at preparing food in charcoal ovens. He loves the aromatic flavours and great texture that smoke provides. A perfect guest for Wils, then, because everything there revolves around… fire!
