Guillem Fernández - Private Chef
Who am I?
Hi, my name is Guillem and I was born in Granollers, a town by the Mediterranean Sea.
I’ve loved cooking since I was a child and always knew exactly what I wanted to do. When the time came, I attended one of the best hospitality schools in Barcelona, and since then I haven’t stopped learning and cooking in all kinds of restaurants in several different countries where I’ve also lived.
I have over 10 years of experience between working in restaurants and creating gastronomic experiences. For me, cooking is the best way to share love and pleasure in life! It can turn any moment into a magical experience. It’s pure alchemy!
I’ve worked in places specialized in rice dishes, fine dining, and a gourmet grill. I also spent a few months in Italy, where I learned the secrets to cooking great pasta. I lived for a year in Mexico, in Oaxaca, where I worked at one of the top 100 restaurants in the country — a place that blended tradition and innovation in its dishes. In Oaxaca, I learned a lot, especially from traditional female cooks who passed on their ancestral knowledge to me.
I’m now specialized in conscious and healthy cuisine, creating unique menus tailored to each occasion: retreats, events, celebrations, or cooking workshops.
I’ve been able to deepen this path through projects like Son Blanc in Menorca — a sustainable agrotourism project aiming to be self-sufficient by 2030 — where I cooked exclusively with products from the garden and the island, creating unique dishes almost every day. Also through a documentary I’m directing, called A Path to Cook Oneself, where I interview people who share the belief that food can be a tool for both social and personal transformation.
