Fabricio Cano

I studied culinary arts at the prestigious San Ignacio de Loyola University in Peru where I developed my passion for fine food.

I enjoy preparing dishes from around the world, including French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and of course my native Peruvian cusines.

Cooking and Teaching

I started my career working in award winning restaurants, including the Michelin-starred Devos in Belgium and the Talbooth in East Anglia. Currently, I work in well-known UK cookery schools including Divertimenti, Season and L’atelier des Chefs teaching alongside several celebrity chefs.

My advice for my new students would be; don’t be afraid of failure – it’s our mistakes that allow us to improve.

Food Styling

They say we eat with our eyes first. One of my passions is “Food Styling” - cooking, setting and presentation of dishes for photographic purposes, including recipe books, magazine features, television advertisements and promotional materials. You can see a selection of my images on this website. My corporate clients include Phaidon Publishing, Lidl Supermarkets and the California Almond Board.

I love Peruvian food – ceviche, papa la huancaina and the delicious lomo saltado – beef, chili, onions, tomatoes, soy sauce and black beer stir fried and served with French fries and rice – which my Grandmother and Father make. Delicioso!
