A private chef service and workshop platform focused on physical and mental well-being through the synergy of visual arts and cooking.

Portrait of Alma
The Artist

Alma, From Patagonia to the World

Born amidst the rugged winds and vast landscapes of Argentine Patagonia, my journey began with a deep appreciation for nature's raw beauty. I graduated in Visual Arts from the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC), a foundation that has traveled with me across oceans and cultures.

My path led me to Ireland's green hills, Amsterdam's artistic canals, and finally to Italy's culinary heart. Each place added a layer to my identity as a visual artist and chef, complemented by my certification in Art Therapy and rigorous HACCP food safety standards.

With years of experience in gastronomy, photography, and illustration, I weave these disciplines together. My food is not just eaten; it is experienced visually and emotionally, creating a bridge between the plate and the soul.

My Philosophy

Nourishing Body & Soul

The Synergy of Art & Wellness

I believe that true well-being comes from a holistic balance. There is a profound connection between what we see, what we eat, and how we feel.

Art stimulates the mind, nutrition fuels the body, and connection nourishes the spirit.

By integrating visual arts with conscious gastronomy, we create a sanctuary for the senses. This synergy forms the foundation for balanced well-being, inviting you to slow down, appreciate beauty in the details, and reconnect with yourself and others in a meaningful way.
