Roberta Sudbrack, Rio de Janeiro

For a self-taught cook who started out pushing a hotdog cart in Brasilia, Roberta Sudbrack has done pretty well for herself. As head chef at Brazil’s presidential palace for eight years, she cooked for the likes of Bill Clinton, Fidel Castro and Prince Charles, as well as all of Latin America’s heads of state. She is the only female head chef to have been awarded three stars in the Guia Quatro Rodas, the Brazilian equivalent of Michelin, and now she adds Veuve Clicquot Latin America's Best Female Chef 2015 to her string of accolades. We caught up with Roberta at her eponymous restaurant in Rio de Janeiro to find out what makes her tick.
