Come join us for more…much more!

Chef Abram is a professional Dutch chef with more than 25 years of experience in the finest restaurants of Benelux.

Having grown up between Amsterdam and Utrecht (his hometown) helped him to discover cultural trends, unique culinary environments, and strong international business presence. In fact, travel and tourism are integral economic components that drive a perennial appetite and curiosity for creative culinary minds.

As a well-qualified chef, he could work in all areas of hospitality in roles like Executive Chef, Sous Chef, culinary manager, culinary developer and owner.

His most important adventures include the role of Consultant for the famous Okura Hotel & Restaurant in Amsterdam https://www.okura.nl/dine-and-drink/

where he organized -togheter with a team of other 150 brilliant chefs- important banquets for the Royal Families.

Among the habitué of the Okura Hotel and Restaurants they were the Prime Ministers and the local aristocracy but also the Japanese Emper and Empress, and of course the Dutch Royal Family.

Speaking of which, when Abram finished the high school and the master in Haute Cuisine in Utrecht, he was one of the freelance chefs hired for making sophisticated banquets for Beatrix, Queen of Holland at the time.

In 2000 he opened with a partner his own luxury lunchroom and deli shop in the centre of Utrecht, which incuded an exclusive dog boutique and a special bakary corner for dogs only. So, you could join your amazing meal and your dog could have his fresh made 5 star dish as well… before having done a luxury shop, of course.

This was a very innovative concept back in those years and Abram’s shop became the most popular in the whole Benelux.

Abram was also culinary developer freelance, during his career;  he worked for a long time for an important Dutch Singer and music producer, Spiros Chalos https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiros

who opened a luxury Restaurant and Live Music Open Bar in Utrecht; this was the place where many talents performed for the very first time before becoming international stars, often in duet with famous singers.

In 2014 Chef Abram moved from Utrech to Turin to start a new life with his Italian wife Cecilia, a sociologist specialised in event management and food studies.

He quickly fell in love with this gorgeous city, its rich gastronomic scene and also its brand new job as head chef for one of the most historical place of Turin, the charming Farmacia del Cambio

If he certainly knows that cooking is first of all a science, he also knows how to give soul to the food, making it alive and starting to talk to it, listening to its message…

The history of cuisine is the history of the whole world. What better place to meet the entire world than around a table? Cooking is a universal language, just like love. That’s why when you decide to become a chef you have to be truly passionate and capable to give yourself to the other.
