Masterchef S01 ep16: Claudio Sadler, Restaurant Sadler, [Milian]

Interview with Claudio Sadler

My dishes are simple dishes. I don't like sauces. I like a piece of meat, a piece of fish, I like the vegetables, I like olive oil, I like the spices and I put these things together, Sea Bass - for me it is enough to serve with some mushrooms on the top, the herbs and olive oil and cooking very quickly. We have beautiful pieces of beef - I decide whether we cook them for a long time or a short time so, but I prepare a sauce because it is important but I don't make it a big elaboration.

It is a little restaurant where a cuisine of exceptional quality is produced based on reinterpreted traditional Italian dishes from all the regions of Italy.

This was my dream. When I was a child of 12 or 13 years of age I would prepare food for myself either because my parents were out or at work and I understood that I really loved the creation of different dishes. It gave me a satisfaction to see what I had prepared and I understood early on that the direct rapport that I had with food gave others great pleasure.

I change my mentality for each part of the kitchen. If I have a good chef in the pastry, I create a recipe and explain to him what I think and then together we prepare the recipe.

Also for the pasta, I don’t want make it very difficult recipe when the chef is not up to it.

Yeah, yes, this is cultural.

When I prepare the pasta in the USA or in Japan, oh they think it is incredible and because I know I have the sensibility to make a good pasta dish. For example I know when the pasta is "al dente".

For me because I come from the North my favourite Pasta is "arpezoccoli" - I like this very much.
