Anatoly Kazakov is the head chef at Selfie in Moscow. At just 35, Anatoly is one of a handful of chefs revolutionising Russia's gastronomic scene.

Together with Vladimir Mukhin, his friend and the head chef of Selfie's sister restaurant, The White Rabbit, a new spotlight is being cast on Russian produce and traditional techniques.

Originally, the chef wanted to be a professional water polo player, but he soon realised that the contracts available for the sport didn't quite meet the level of a hockey player or a footballer. Instead, he went to cooking school. It wasn't until he experienced highly-acclaimed kitchens such as that of Gualtiero Marchesi that the chef truly began forging his own culinary identity.
