The culinary secrets of Mikel Alonso on KiwiPro

We launch an exclusive recipe collection on KiwiPro with Mikel Alonso! Learn more about the story of this incredible chef. French by birth, Spanish by origin, Basque at heart, and Mexican by chance, Mikel Alonso is one of the most recognized chefs internationally. His philosophy can be summed up in a basic concept: “To be a good cook, you must start by being a good person,” which he acquired during his time at the Luis Irizar Cooking School in San Sebastián, Spain. Here he learned to love and respect the product, to nurture the technique so that it serves the product, and to honor and protect the profession of being a cook. This philosophy has accompanied him in every gastronomic project he has developed, such as the restaurant Biko, considered one of the best restaurants in the world by the British list The S.Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants; the restaurant Lur, since 2017, with a concept of traditional Basque cuisine; KOMA, serving contemporary Basque-French cuisine since 2018; Tartel Bar and “Cocina de Autor” (awarded the 5 diamonds from the AAA), within the Grand Velas All Suites & Spa Resort in the Riviera Maya, where he is a consulting chef. Mikel is also a teaching chef at various gastronomic institutions in Mexico, has participated in culinary television programs, and in countless courses, festivals, workshops, and courses throughout Mexico. He actively participates in social support programs, collaborates with international and Mexican brands as an ambassador, and has cooked for personalities such as presidents, the kings of Spain, Gabriel García Márquez, Joaquín Sabina, among others.Subscribe to KiwiPro and explore the culinary secrets of Mikel Alonso, one of the most Pro chefs in Mexico!
