About Me

Where it all began

I grew up in a coastal town on the Mediterranean, about 50 kilometers south of Valencia, surrounded by the sea and citrus groves. Some of my earliest memories of food are family meals and weekly trips to the market with my mother.

My path to the kitchen

As a kid, I was pretty picky about food. That changed when I finally decided to try something new and discovered a whole world of flavors. While other kids dreamed of becoming soccer players, I wanted to be a chef.

Over the past fifteen years, I've worked in all kinds of hotels and restaurants, including Michelin-starred kitchens. I also had the opportunity to open a restaurant with a friend, helping create the menu and build the place from scratch. After learning from so many different kitchens, I decided it was time to follow my own path and start Cocinarlos.

Good Ingredients, Good Food, Good Company

I cook with Valencian and Mediterranean traditions at the heart of everything I do. I look for fresh, seasonal ingredients, choose them carefully, and let them guide the menu. I'm always open to new flavors and ideas, but I believe good cooking doesn't need to be complicated.

What matters most is putting good food on the table and giving people a reason to gather around it.
