"Del plato a la boca..." no es que en esta ocasión se caiga la sopa, sino que de diseño y artesanía local, la obra que se hizo es sin igual.

El diseñador André Rocha de Steam228 trabajó con maestros artesanos de varias regiones de Portugal para llevar nuevas formas a la mesa en la pasada edición de Sangue Na Guelra, Lisboa 2015.

La colaboración y trabajo fue en conjunto; el ingenio, la creatividad e innovación de los chefs participantes, artesanos, diseñadores y André, obtuvieron grandes resultados.

El trabajo con Oswaldo Oliva, no fue la excepción; quien llevo sus ideas de la mano de Ostaria Tavares , DAR y André.

Profile

Mexico City 1985. Had he not been so sure about being a chef, he'd probably work at the stock market today. — People used to get very upset when I said I wanted to cook for a living; everybody said they expected more of me.— Only his family understood that he had a potential that needed to be fueled in the atmosphere of a restaurant and with he ability to express himself through food.

He graduated from Culinary school in 2006 and immediately started traveling through the world of fine dining. El Celler de Can Roca in Catalunya (Northern Spain) was his first stop. He worked side by side to Joan and Jordi Roca with whom he learnt the importance of cooking as a part of a global experience.

Mugaritz in the Basque country was next on his list. The restaurant where they do what nobody else dares to think about. Its unique and incomparable philosophy opened his eyes to an approach to cooking led by creativity and a strong focus on produce.

He worked at Mugaritz with Andoni Luis Aduriz for 7 years. He was part of the R&D kitchen where his daily work ranged from creating dishes to writing scientific papers.

2015 begins his solo career with the fixed idea to combine experience and knowledge to contribute to the gastronomic panorama.

Great admirer of Michel Bras and Pascal Barbot, but as any Mexican, he is well able to enjoy some good tacos.

He has the conviction provide everything he knows, and the idea that is working that make restaurants. Not the produce, not the concepts, not the fame and fortune. TEAMS."
