Hi, I'm Enrique. I cook for a living, especially at private dinners and small events where I can be closer to people.I've worked in several places, including a gluten-free restaurant where I was head chef, but what I love most is being able to cook in different places, calmly, and make people enjoy it. I like food that's flavorful, simple but well-made, with good ingredients and without complications.I'm never in a rush; I like to pay attention to the details and make the experience enjoyable, without posing. Cooking for others is what I enjoy most, and if we have a good time, even better.Specialties: Traditional market cuisine with modern touches, focusing on quality products<ul><li>Fish and seafood from the north</li><li>Low-temperature meats</li><li>Homemade stews and broths</li><li>Gluten-free cuisine</li><li>Custom tasting menus</li><li>Kitchen for private events and show cooking</li></ul>
