Lara lived in Galicia for a few years, where she found herself truly connected to nature's gifts: the beautiful seafood and the freshest ingredients that the North of Spain has to offer.
Cooking with an infusion of heart and soul, Lara ardently believes that these are the quintessential ingredients for achieving culinary greatness.
Her journey commenced at the age of fourteen, where she learned her craft in humble cafes, restaurants, bakeries, and gelaterias.
Fuelled by unyielding curiosity, unwavering discipline, and eyes wide with wonder, she found herself working alongside some of the globe's most esteemed culinary virtuosos, gracing the kitchens of revered venues such as The Ritz London under the brigade of John Williams, Hide restaurant curated by Ollie Dabbous, and the illustrious two-Michelin starred restaurant of Claude Bosi at Bibendum.
Amidst the tumult of the global pandemic, Lara navigated her culinary path into the realm of private dining, crafting bespoke culinary experiences for patrons spanning the UK and beyond. Collaborating with exceptional talents, including diligent hospitality stars, she birthed 'Euphoria', a bespoke events and catering company.
