Meet the Artist

Born and raised in Mexico, Chef Benjamin has traveled the world to experience cultures and food. From Thailand and Norway to the United States and Mexico — he has been involved in diverse food and beverage projects such as working in various international kitchens, creating new menus for restaurants, providing consultancy work for businesses in the hospitality sector advising on food, drink, services and administration and helping restaurants with sommelier services. He believes that food relates to everything in every way, and if you want to know more about the society, you just have to take a look to the local dishes. Traditional cuisine shows you all the main and basic culinary techniques and if you know the proper technique you can play more freely and with more confidence when you want to cook something. Together you’ll find creative culinary freedom and may be outdoor BBQ's with his family.

Explore Majorca

Majorca, the Mediterranean island off the east coast of Spain, is full of beautiful beaches, plenty of gorgeous nature, and charming historic towns. No wonder it’s been the inspiration for generations of artists, from Chopin to Miro. Its towns are made up of tiny Spanish cafes, tapas bars, bustling markets, and cozy artisan shops to experience the local lifestyle. Or you can sun soak at the beach and explore the numerous coastal caves and cliffs for stunning views.

    We had a fantastic time. My spouse is a very serious home cook who cooks new recipes most nights and reads cookbooks for fun. I am a reasonable home cook, decent baker and fine food enthusiast who needs work on knife skills. After he got to know us, Benjamin worked on a plan with us for our visit.

    When in Spain paella is always a good bet, but my husband also wanted to cook an octopus. Happily,     Read more

    Benjamin is absolutely fabulous, both personally and professionally. We highly recommend him! We learned so much over the course of 3 days. This is a experience we will never forget.

    Benji is a wealth of information. I learned so much and had a great time exploring local wineries, farms and stores in Mallorca.

    Cooking with Benji was a pleasure! We had a great time not just in the kitchen, but also touring some of the local towns and markets together. He really made our experience in Mallorca special, and we definitely saw towns and ate at restaurants we would not have without the insight of a local.

    Benji is super fun to be around, and is a wonderful communicator. You can really feel his passion arou     Read more

    Although my trip to Mallorca was short, Benji made my experience there magical - I had such a rich experience that left me feeling like Mallorca is another home.

    He took my creative brief really seriously, and we did a ton each day. He took me to an organic farm where we got a tour and learned about organic growing methods, then used the produce from this farm to make a traditional Mallorcan d     Read more

We started at Benji’s home where we were treated to vegetable and fruit smoothies as Benji explained the health benefits and how to combine just the right ingredients. Then we drove to the local fish market and picked out our fish for ceviche, and saw the quaint town of Sa Pobla.

    Next we headed to Benji’s father-in-law’s house with     Read more
