Miguel López Castanier
After passing through several schools and working in various restaurants in the area of Madrid, in 1988 started as chef de cuisine at La Taberna de Liria where he continues as owner and chef.
López Castanier has combined his profession with culinary journalism. He has worked in newspapers (Diario 16, El Mundo, El Pais) and magazines (Manifesto or Gourmet). In 2000 she joined Kitchen channel at Digital Plus, with its program La Bodega and Va de trucos. He is also author of the recipes in La cocina de Don Quijote, an essay by Cesareo Fernandez Duro. He also participated in the book La cocina de Plinio.
He has recently published the amazing book 20 Poems of Love & a loud sob, a book in which poetry is linked to gastronomy as every poem contains a recipe. A great little gem!
From the last 14th September, Miguel has started a new experience: the restaurant Castaño y Caramelo. In the central street of Goya in Madrid, he has retrieved a former restaurant were he has already put his fingerprint. It is a mix of a tavern, a bistro and a restaurant, a mix of traditional with small touches of modernity.
