Cucina francese a Rovigno: Wine Vault
Dal racconto della mia incantevole sosta all’Hotel Monte Mulini vi ho lasciati con il fiato sospeso per alcuni giorni…
Il fantastico soggiorno a Rovigno sì è concluso nel migliore dei modi: nella moderna cantina del ristorante dell’albergo, il prestigioso ed esclusivo Wine Vault!
Al mio arrivo uno staff ben assortito mi accoglie per una degustazione di olii e vini delle terre croate, ed un simpatico quanto estroverso personaggio, con un perfetto accento britannico, viene a darmi il benvenuto. È Andrew Gaskin, Cluster Executive Chef, di origini londinesi!
Questo mix di cucina francese, creata da uno chef inglese, e sublimata da vini locali, davvero mi incuriosisce!

A chef and an artist all at once
Andrew Gaskin is not a cook, not even a chef… simply put, he is a hyperactive artist with food as his medium and cooking as his chief technique.
“Hotel kitchens have in some way marked my professional career. Things came together that way and the kitchens have drawn my map of the world, which I travelled around, working and living in various places, from UK to Malta, China, exotic islands, France, Italy… And now I’m in Rovinj, a fantastic Istrian town”.
“We wow our guests, we spoil them and entertain them and, if necessary, shock them a bit”. He particularly remembers the lunch prepared for Queen Elisabeth II during her visit to Malta.

Prvi Hrvatski Božić Andrewa Gaskina
Znatiželjni putnik i gurman
Za Gaskina bi se teško moglo reći da je kuhar, iako je njegov životni put, dakako, obilježio boravak u kuhinjama. Za sebe kaže da je ‘dobra berba’, rođen 1962. godine u Londonu. Prije bi se moglo reći da je jedan od onih urbanih nomada koji se, čak i ako se ne sele svakih par godina i ne provode pola života u avionima, putuju virtualno.
“Svijet je knjiga, a ako ne putujete, to je kao da ste pročitali samo jednu stranicu i propustili sve ostale”, jedan je od životnih lajtmotiva Britanca koji se doselio u Rovinj.

The flagship restaurant The Wine Vault, Hotel Monte Mulini
The evening was a delight as Andy and his talented young team kept things rolling along with inventive, tasty and groundbreaking food. The big thing about Andy’s cooking is his modesty. He is almost shy about the clear achievements in his kitchen. They don’t have the Michelin Star system in Croatia but it has been rated as a one star. This is deserved as the sheer energy that goes into producing a meal at the chef’s table testifies.

Chef’s Table at the Wine Vault Restaurant in Rovinj
Over the years we have traditionally celebrated our anniversary at a nice restaurant but this year, 2.5 months into our world tour and with our 10th anniversary at hand, we looked for something truly special.
A true culinary marathon, we made our way through 19 courses, 5 different Croatian wines, and 3 kinds of grappa to round off the night. We also got a real kick out of being guinea pigs for a new dish – a foie gras ice cream bar. All in all, 5 hours later, we can safely say this was one of our very best food experiences. One that we will never forget.
