I was born in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, found my passion for the world of gastronomy growing up in a diverse culinary environment under the watchful eye of an Italian grandmother who was a pastry chef. Intrigued with culinary combinations of distinctive flavors, I followed my passion to the Culinary Institute of Mexico. I worked under the direction of renowned Chef Ferran Adrià, founder of the molecular gastronomy movement and head chef of the Michelin 3-star restaurant El Bulli, named by Gourmet the "Best Restaurant in The World," As a chef I have dedicated 25 years of my life to work in the best kitchens worldwide, with very strong background in Italian Cuisine, knowing how to prepare every kinds of pastas, breads, cured meats ( Salumis) in addition to making artisan cheeses such as ricotta, mozzarella, burrata, Neapolitan Pizza with 75% hydration. Growing my knowledge in the culinary world everyday by traveling and attending the most important seminars and chefs congress at global levels.
