About Maxim Kopylov
Chef Maxim Kopylov, what was your childhood career dream?
Now it’s quite fashionable but it was not so trendy in those days: I wanted to be a plastic surgeon, but with a special condition: a plastic surgeon for children!
A Pediatric Plastic Surgeon? Not a very common choice I guess?
I don’t know how I got that idea – maybe because my parents are interested in medicine, I don’t know.
But fate had something different in store for me. In September 1995, I started working in the kitchen of the Slava clock factory in Moscow, and my world was turned upside down. Medicine,
Darwin and the clotting threshold of blood – all flew away, I began to build a library consisting only of cookbooks. I’ve devoted all my time since to cooking – including internships with famous chefs and taking part in corporate parties for celebrities.
