Partisan

Partisan is the fruition of a long term dream. Since I can remember, I have been interested in food and cooking. As a child, growing up in Argentina, it was people’s pantries rather than their toy cupboards that I was curious about, their kitchens, their eating habits. With Scottish, Italian and French ancestry, food was very important in my family. Feeding others was what we loved the most. 

In the early 90’s, when I was 21, I moved to the USA. It was in New York, working for my sister-in-law in her boutique catering company, that I really knew I wanted to work with food. At that time, the revolution of independent artisan produce was coming alive, with big warehouse bakeries selling fresh sourdough bread, shopping in farmers markets, and witnessing a surge of great coffees shops and delis. I cooked some of the best food I had ever known, which inspired me further.
