I’m a chef with over 15 years under my belt, cooking my way through France, Spain, Sweden, Ireland, the UK, and Denmark. Traveling has been my biggest teacher—picking up new flavors, techniques, and inspiration to shape my own style.

I’ve been based in London for more than seven years now, and I’m gearing up to open my own restaurant soon.

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is a crazy, complicated craf, putting a dish in front of a stranger and hoping it hits the mark is tough, but when it works is nothing like it

I learned to cook at...

I got my start with the best chef I know, Mark Delia. He didn’t just teach me how to cook; he helped shape who I am.

A cooking secret...

There’s no magic secret in this job—just a lot of trial, error, and passion.

Chef Juan Manuel's reviews

We are very happy with our evening. Juan was well prepared before, presented the food well and gave us as a customer an experience that is memorable. Juan is a very good chef and the food tasted very good.

El chef Juan Manuel Ruiz fué muy atento y puntual. En nuestro caso el servicio era un regalo de unas clases de cocina de "experto" para 2 personas. Estuvimos encantados. Les elaboró la clase a su medida y les fue corrigiendo en aquellas cosas que no hacían bien, dándoles truquitos para hacerlas mejor. Al final nos hizo una cena espectacular para 4 con los alimentos con los que habían estado trabajando. Fué un lujo tenerle y lo recomendamos sin lugar a dudas :)
