I attended a school of hospitality in Madrid from 1998 to 1999. It was there that I met my mentor Ferran Adria, a renowned Spanish Michelin three-star chef, who taught me the basics of Spanish cuisine. I was also very fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel around the world and experience different gastronomic cultures since graduation.
I have always enjoyed food and fine dining but I had never thought about becoming a chef until I was 18. Chef Ferran has been and still remains the top chef in the culinary world, and having worked with him, and at top-end restaurants such as the Casino de Madrid, has helped me gain creative experiences that I wouldn’t have gotten elsewhere.
