Cooking the place you are in
I am Dwyght Vester, a private chef born in Adrogué, Buenos Aires, into a family with German roots. For the last decade I have cooked in some of the best restaurants in the world: Sous Chef of R&D in the Noma group, Head Chef at Kokkeriet in Copenhagen, and kitchens such as Memories in Switzerland and Gallo d’Oro in Madeira.
Today I bring that cooking to villas, chalets and weddings. Fermentation, smoke, fire and foraging shape the menu, with as little waste as possible. Fine dining, a long family table, an asado or a wedding for hundreds: each menu is designed around your guests and the produce of the moment. I speak Spanish, English, German and French.
