Chef Damian Flo

Cook At Home In Primm

Buongiorno! I am a 25-year-old Italian young man who grew up in Madrid, Spain for over 10 years. Cooking has been my passion since I was 15 years old. The love for cooking runs in my family. My father, who has taught me everything I know, is Chef Fabio Javier. He has several decades of experience and has been following my progress.

As a young Italian chef who has spent a significant part of my life in Spain, I have been fortunate to experience the best of both culinary worlds. The fusion of Italian, Spanish, and Mediterranean cuisines has greatly influenced my cooking style and has become the essence of my culinary identity.

Growing up in Italy, I was immersed in a rich culinary heritage that celebrated fresh, seasonal ingredients and simple yet bold flavors. Italian cuisine taught me the importance of using high-quality ingredients as the foundation of any dish. From homemade pasta to traditional risottos, I learned the art of creating dishes that are both comforting and satisfying.

However, my time in Spain exposed me to a vibrant and lively food culture that was distinctly different from what I had known. Spanish cuisine opened my eyes to the world of an incredible variety of flavors. The Spanish emphasis on communal dining and sharing plates inspired me to create dishes that encourage conviviality and exploration of flavors.

The Mediterranean region, with its shared coastline and cultural exchange, played a crucial role in shaping my cooking style. The abundant use of olive oil, aromatic herbs, and fresh vegetables became the backbone of my culinary repertoire. The Mediterranean diet, known for its health benefits and delicious simplicity, instilled in me a love for wholesome ingredients and mindful cooking.

Today, my cooking style is a harmonious blend of these influences. I combine the passion and attention to detail from my Italian heritage with the vibrancy and creativity inspired by Spanish cuisine. I prioritize fresh, seasonal ingredients and strive to let their natural flavors shine through in each dish. I embrace the use of olive oil, garlic, and herbs to enhance the taste profiles of my creations.

Whether I'm preparing a traditional Italian pasta dish with a Spanish twist or experimenting with a fusion of flavors in a Mediterranean-inspired seafood paella, I aim to transport diners on a culinary journey that celebrates the best of both worlds. I believe that food has the power to connect people and cultures, and through my cooking, I hope to share the beauty and richness of Italian, Spanish, and Mediterranean cuisine with others.

So, come and join me at the table, where the vibrant colors, bold flavors, and warm hospitality of Italy and Spain merge to create a unique culinary experience that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you with a newfound appreciation for the art of food. Buon appetito! ¡Buen provecho!

For me, cooking is...

My goal is to prepare good meals and offer my passion and ambition to families by contributing with an open and constructive mentality.

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook "on site", in a totally homemade way and respecting the traditions. I was trained by my father, the professional Chef Fabio Javier.

A cooking secret...

To always have a tasty "sofritto" and "brodo", but the secret ingredients are passion and lots of love!
