Bite of potatoes Rioja style

Recipe created by Cristian Solana, born in Cantabria and since he was a child he spent his days in the kitchen of the family restaurant. When he turned 16 he decided to study cooking at the hotel school in Santander while working weekends and summers with his family.

At the age of 18 he started working in the restaurant El Serbal taking the step to haute cuisine (seafood cuisine). A year later he decided to go to the Solana Restaurant where he created a solid foundation and trained as a cook (traditional cuisine).

This desire to learn and continue to grow led him to the Martín Berasategui restaurant where he did 6 months of internship, learning about products and polishing techniques.

In search of excellence he arrived in La Rioja where he was in the first steps of the restaurant Kabanova (creative cuisine).

Later he started at the Palacio de Samaniego, where he sought to refine himself with a delicate and subtle French cuisine.

After this journey through the north of Spain, going from the coast and seafood to the fabulous world of vegetables, he arrives at @bodegasfya where he elaborates a gastronomy based on PRODUCT, CLOSENESS and SEASONALITY, keeping in mind what he has learned in the past and looking for a style of cuisine with a lot of flavor.
