CHEF AGUS

Let me show you the secrets and the treasures of Basque and Spanish cooking. I will share my knowledge and passion for food with you. Can´t wait to tell you stories about my culture, traditions, and unique and delicious recipes.

My purpose is to awaken those edible memories from your childhood cooking together and of course…having lots of fun!!!

I grew up in a small house with no living room but with a large kitchen which was the center of the house. Since I was a child, I helped my mother with various kitchen tasks. I remember the first recipes I cooked with her, croquettes, and Basque style French toast. Since then, I cannot stop thinking about those moments every time I eat them. At the age of 24 I decided that I wanted to travel and see the world, I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. I went to Sydney, Australia where I found a job as a kitchen assistant in a tapas bar called Miro, where I worked for 3 years. This was where my passion for gastronomy awakened, knowing that it was a something that allowed traveling, learning, and the joy of food at the same time. My second adventure was in San Francisco CA, where I worked at the Basque/French restaurant, Piperade, 15 Romolo Basque Hotel, Rosewood, and B44. 

After traveling through the USA, Central America, India, Indonesia, and North Africa, I decided to return home. After working in some pintxo bars, I got a job at the Basque Culinary Center where I immersed myself in the world of teaching. All this experience helped me to work at Mimo Food, a pioneer company in offering gastronomic experiences in San Sebastián with its own cooking school. I'm now looking forward to transporting you into my home kitchen with The Chef & The Dish.
