I spend my life around the kitchen, my parents were in the Hospitality and Tourism industry for over 60 years, with them I learned not only about cooking but hard work, respect and love from what I do, it become a passion of mine, I'm hungry of knowledge, my desire is not only for me to be the best that I can be as a chef but to share as much as I can with others. Over the years, my passion took me to different countries, it was a process of learning, in that process, I had the opportunity and the fortune of working with the best international chefs not only in Spain my country of origin but in Switzerland, France, Italy and Norway.
