Quique Dacosta was born in 1972 in Jarandilla de la Vera, Spain. Extremaduran by birth and Valencian by adoption, he began his career as a chef in 1986. At the age of 14 he started working in the kitchen and immersing himself in books, almost all of them by French chefs with very different culinary trajectories from the one he was working on at that time. This sparked an interest in food that went beyond sustenance alone. At 18, he began visiting Spain’s best gourmet restaurants of the day. With his foie-gras Cuba Libre (2001), Quique Dacosta began to stir up general interest within the Spanish culinary scene. Since then, he has received a multitude of prizes and awards
