Vinicius Rossignoli is recognized as a Brazilian chef who gained prominence by participating in the “MasterChef” program in 2018, where he achieved widespread recognition. However, what truly sets him apart is his deep connection with the Cerrado biome, a tropical savannah in Brazil, rich in biodiversity and culinary traditions that he seeks to value and promote.
Rossignoli is not just a chef, but one of the foremost advocates for the Cerrado. Through his recipes, talks, and travels, he uses his platform to merge gastronomy with the appreciation of this biome. He has developed over 300 recipes that incorporate the flavors and ingredients typical of the Cerrado, demonstrating that this region not only offers a rich palette of flavors but also has the potential to influence global gastronomy, similar to French or Italian cuisine.
Moreover, Rossignoli initially trained in advertising but switched careers to dedicate himself entirely to gastronomy, with a focus on the Cerrado. He strongly believes in sustainability, social inclusion, and cultural revival through the kitchen, which has made him a reference in this field.
In 2021, he was awarded the Dólman Prize, known as the “Oscar of Brazilian Gastronomy.” highlighting his impact on the Brazilian culinary scene.
Rossignoli is also known for his communication skills, managing to speak to various audiences about the importance of the Cerrado, not just as a biome to be preserved but as a source of culinary and cultural inspiration. He sees in the Cerrado the potential to eradicate hunger in Brazil if utilized correctly, reflecting a vision that goes beyond the kitchen to issues of sustainability and regional development.
His unique approach combines academic research with culinary practice. He always seeks the origins of ingredients and techniques, which is reflected in his recipes, his work with local communities and companies, consultations, and cooking shows.
In summary, Vinicius Rossignoli is a chef who not only cooks but also educates and advocates for the appreciation of the Cerrado, transforming gastronomy into a means to preserve and celebrate Brazilian culture and nature, with a particular focus on the riches of the Cerrado.
