ABOUT THE CHEF
Marcelino’s Journey
Marcelino began his culinary journey in Argentina, earning a Gastronomy degree from Gato Dumas. Further studies took him to the Basque Culinary Center, where he secured a master's in culinary creativity and an R&D scholarship. Afterward, he delved into research at Fundacion Alicia before joining the el Bulli Research Foundation, working closely with Ferran Adrià writing the book Te cuento en la cocina. Determined to compete in the Bocuse D’or, Marcelino Worked in Copenhagen at Geranium, learning the ways of a kitchen inherently connected to the Bocuse D’or.
Back in Argentina, he represented the Bocuse D'or Team as president, reaching Lyon. He then worked as an R&D chef at Alchemist before joining Mirazur in Menton as a R&D chef. Marcelino coached the Colombian team to Lyon in 2021 and now prepares for the Bocuse D'or Final in Lyon 2025 as the candidate for the Italian team, after having achieved a seventh place in the European final in Trondheim, Norway.
