Welcome

Hola! Soy klaoe 😃.

I am a gastronomic consultant and chef specialised in vegan food.

I have been working in the food business during the last 25 years. I have been engaged professionally in many roles, from the bottom to the top, this allowed me to understand the ins-and-outs and the workflows of the food and gastronomy industry.

I’m vegan since 2013. A dog named Oscar helped me to see it clear. I like to create magical and special private events, prepared with seasonal and organic ingredients, and always 100% free from animal cruelty. A well balanced plant based diet is all that you need to stay healthy.

Since a few years I grow my own organic food in a piece of land in Galicia. I also write about it at Planttr.com.

We human beings are facing great challenges concerning the sustainability of our 🌍 planet. It has been proven that following a vegan lifestyle not only will save millions of non humans animals lives but also will improve your own life, while reducing the impact on our ecosystem.

I teach people how to reach that point.

About

klaoe Cooking at Extraveganz

I was born in Rome, where I learned the basic little things to start cooking, as all Italians do. The teacher was mostly my mom but a huge inspiration came from my great grandmother Olga, a charming little lady that spent all her life cooking for her family and thought everything she knew about food to my mom. Basil, artichokes, tomatoes, zucchini flowers…

On the other side of the family, my dad side, I have memories of empanadas, tomatoes and onions salads, the smell of cilantro, and the avocado was never missing. For charquicán, or tomaticán I had to wait a few more years before finding their existence together with many other dishes, once I traveled to Chile. That was the beginning of my journey discovering Prehispanic and Latin American dishes.

After feeding MANY people all around the globe, teaching a bunch of others how to cook, after serving thousands of hungry mouths I decided to learn how to grow my own clean food, with the minimum amount of interference towards the soil or the ecosystem I am surrounded by. This the reason why, a few years ago I changed the big cities for a small rural hamlet in the woods.

I grow my own organic food and I learn every day observing nature.

Professional Experience

Life is exciting and brings you always where you are meant to be.

My professional journey in gastronomy started in Paris, as a part time job. I worked in several restaurants among other jobs, before traveling to Mexico for the first time where I learned about one of the most amazing kitchen I have ever known.

Since then, 25 years of work in the food industry have past and I have acquired the ability to work in different environments. I had the chance to live in more than 10 countries and to work with people from all backgrounds and origins. My cooking skills are defined and shaped by the travels and all the people I met.

I like to feed real food to real people. I work remotely. I speak Italian, French, Spanish, English and German.

Here you will find some of my past clients and some restaurants where I have worked.
