From his early days as a punk-rocking dishwasher in Europe to becoming one of the world’s most influential chefs, Atala’s story is one of passion, identity, and preservation. Learn how he blends classical French technique with indigenous knowledge, and why his food is as much about activism as it is about flavor.
Discover how Atala’s vision is helping protect the Amazon’s biodiversity and its communities—one plate at a time.
