Apasionado del proceso
I am a professional chef with over 10 years of experience in the culinary world. I trained at INA and have worked in various restaurants and five-star hotels, gaining extensive knowledge in different areas of the kitchen.
One of my greatest passions is grilling, but throughout my career, I have honed my skills in multiple kitchen roles, allowing me to refine my technique and culinary creativity. For me, gastronomy is not just a profession—it’s a way of life that I enjoy and strive to perfect every day.
