About the Chef
Hola! My name is Santiago. I was born in the Argentine city of Córdoba. For as long as I can remember I have been cooking in my family's restaurants, I grew up in them. At one point in my life I studied gastronomy, but not feeling satisfied with what I had learned and with the job offers I had, I decided to embark on a trip around the world learning gastronomy. Today I find myself in this wonderful city of Melbourne. Here, I found knowledge , friends , family and even the love of my life . With more than 16 years of experience in different gastronomic cultures, catering and decoration, I am more than qualified to offer you an unforgettable culinary experience. I invite you to be part of my story and share my passion for delicious, creative and exciting food!
