Chef at Olivea · Partner at Fritanguita · Draughtsman.
To cook and to draw — the same language.
Daniel Nates
Manifesto
Ingredient first, technique second. What the field or the sea allows is what gets cooked.
At Olivea, the menu changes with the garden's season. The kitchen listens to the field first.
At Fritanguita, the poblano fritanga in its most contemporary form. Hand-made, fast fire.
To draw and to cook share a language: composition, contrast, intent. The cook also makes images.
The table is the last painting.
