Chef Jamil Selem

Chef At Home In Mérida

I am an extroverted, self-taught young man.

However, I was lucky to study a career, work in what I love most, take advantage of the opportunities that arise and share everything I have learned with others.

I am always grateful for each experience that has given me the development and professional growth that I need for each occasion, allowing me to feel comfortable in any area of gastronomy.

I would love to cook for you

For me, cooking is...

The most precious event where you can create unforgettable memories to share emotions, fill hearts and forge new friendships

I learned to cook at...

My mom, being single for most of her life, was always busy at work due to money necessities and I had to learn to cook my own food when she was absent

A cooking secret...

Less is more, Transmit a lot with little. make it unforgettable and simple. finish what you started
