CHEF INVITADO
Chef Francisco Ahumada Green
Having started his culinary career around the end of the last century… starting away from his place of origin (Los Cabos), in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico, in the extinct La Joya de Mismaloya hotel, south of this beautiful port.
After completing this stage, acquiring studies in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco, extended by a diploma in seafood cuisine at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley California, thus clarifying a very characteristic style in its cuisine… haute cuisine from the sea. .
Returning to their land of origin, practicing some of the new Mexican cuisine and thus acquiring the possibility of traveling to the old world in order to accentuate what has been achieved to date.
The kitchen is focused on what we now call spontaneous and signature cuisine, thus assimilating a semi-molecular style in it.
While in Madrid I had the opportunity to work for the group “Sabor a mi” acquiring the administration of different kitchens in that city, thus achieving very interesting qualities, achieving a traditional Mexican style and at the same time a European touch.
Back in Mexico, I had the opportunity to open different restaurants in the Riviera Nayarit area, as well as being part of the Grand Miramar hotel as executive chef, a luxurious hotel located in Conchas Chinas.
as well as the opening of a restaurant in the town of San Jose del Cabo in Baja California Sur, “La ostra” a restaurant characterized by a quite innovative style without leaving that essence of the sea that characterizes my cuisine so much.
Always encouraging learning, I have been part of different conventions throughout the Mexican Republic as well as festivals and workshops, accentuating the pleasure of sharing knowledge.
after a time in support in different establishments as well as in the refreshment of cymbal assemblies in his own style.
Today I am the chef of the restaurant “Awaken your sense” an immersive restaurant that adheres to an international style and with a minimalist and molecular touch, a place where we awaken all the senses, said restaurant belonging to the prestigious hard rock chain Los cabos
