𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐧𝐢 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 on Valentin Royo!! 🤩
“Since an early age, I have always been fascinated by cooking, restaurants, and the world of hospitality. I graduated from LENOTRE in December 2023. I went straight into working at @mastrosofficial, where I started building my foundation in a professional kitchen. After that, I had the great opportunity to travel to Spain and learn from @ger_carrizo at his Michelin-starred restaurant @fierrovlc, where I was introduced to fine dining that blends Argentinian and Spanish cuisine. I’m currently working at @lejardinierhouston, where I continue to grow and learn every day. Throughout this whole time, I’ve also had the pleasure of supporting @katyringfood, helping with a variety of catering events.”
