PRESENTATIONS AND OUTREACH SESSIONS
SENSITIZE AND EMOTION
Just like the bees, traveling from flower to flower you can find me in very different fields…
Sharing knowledge and nature is a job that fills me with enthusiasm, because it is part of the values of my cuisine and my way of being. The best way to teach is undoubtedly through emotion and awareness. Biodynamics applied to cooking, edible wild flowers and herbs, the beauty of the landscape… to make the origin of the product known and elevate it to excellence.
My students, attendees at conferences, showcookings, workshops, conferences, or fairs … After having listened, observed, smelled and tasted the plant life, something new sprouts inside people, I call it: – The transformation of the gaze to the landscape.
You can see in Upcoming events, the scheduled lectures and workshops. And if you want a transformative experience for your team, with your family or at an event, you can contact me and we will find the ideal format to seduce in green whoever you want.
AUTHOR

I began to write with the mission of writing down the ancestral wisdom that the elderly people of the countryside have about the uses of plants in the kitchen and in life. Most of what I know today about our flora comes from my family heritage, which I have continued to study, expand and practice, with the desire to strengthen the relationship between people and nature..

TRAINING OF THE DOP PRIEGO AS AN EXPERT IN SENSORY TASTING OF OOVES.
The daily contact with nature, smelling, tasting and cooking botanical ingredients I believe is the best training a person can have to become a taster, this exercise added to the techniques I have studied in different courses, allow me to have a special sensory criteria, where the descriptors of ingredients and products are always linked to nature.
It is a continuous training, an eternal apprenticeship to always have the senses well tuned.
