Chef Rogerio Bento
Chef At Home In GuiaGet to know me better
I am an ambitious chef that thrives on making people happy and cooking deliciously pleasurable food!
Since my 17 years of age I began this adventure and have worked in many restaurants and hotels in Portugal, Switzerland and Macau and including cruise ships .
I love cooking Eurasian fusion dishes and giving priority to local produce. My passion for cooking also embraces traditional Portuguese, Mediterranean and fulfilling vegan / vegetarian cuisines.
If you leave it all to me, I will always look to prepare what is in season and I always look to bring about well-balanced flavor filled healthy food.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
Cooking, is the art of nurturing the soul, pleasing the senses and preserving vitality.
I learned to cook at...
School of hoteliers and tourism in Coimbra and Aveiro.
A cooking secret...
Handle with care and make sure the flavors are there!
