About
During the nineties Manuel worked in the kitchens of several restaurants in Madrid as well as the family restaurant, while he attended university. After his apprenticeship and hard work he decided to use this degree, leaving the kitchens behind for a few years. It was after arriving to Australia in 2009 when his passion for cooking ignited again and started Paellas and Tapas Traditional in Perth , that earned him recognition and success.
