Coming from Portugal I grew up with great cooks in the family. My grandmother was a professional cook and she instilled a teal sense of love for food in me. I spend hours helping her in the kitchen. My grandparents both has their homesteads in the village we live now and I spend most summers right here on this land helping my grandfather farm. This love for food & nature combined itself when I went to culinary school in Beverwijk. After I met Sophie we started our first restaurant together in 2011. We opened our second place in 2013 combining organic farming and cooking on our Farm to Table in Italy. Now we are fortunate enough to cook, farm and teach from our ideal reiterative farms right here in my homeland Portugal.
