I'm Xoan Marín,
let's meet!
My name is Xoan Marin, professional chef and nutritional advisor.
I was born in Ibiza in 1988 and the Mediterranean Sea has always been a very important part of my life. Having Argentinian parents descendents from Italian and Spanish families the pleasures of good food has always been present on our table. As a family we travelled a lot and got to know different cultures and gastronomic traditions, each with their particular flavours and that fascinated me.
I started working in Ibiza in 2006 at the best restaurants at that time. This experience woke my passion for gastronomy and nutrition.
My journey to
becoming professional chef:
While working at Mey Hofmann’s restaurant (one Michelin star) I studied enology, dietetics and nutrition among other subjects.
I also took a course in Espai Sucre School where I learned chocolate and bonbon confectionery technology from Chano Saguer and Jordi Butron.
I subsequently went back to Barcelona to extend my studies on a year’s course in pastry with well known pastry chef Eric Ortuno.
I continued working and researching alternating between Ibiza and Barcelona and had the pleasure to work side-by side with Xavi Pellicer, whose restaurant in Barcelona has recently had the recognition as the best vegetable restaurant in the world by “We’re Smart Green Guide”. This experience provided me with a deeper understanding of the concept of healthy food and how to use ecologic products.
Back in Ibiza I worked as chef in the famous Isla Sa Ferradura and then later in Andorra as the chef in the 5*Hermitage Mountain Residences.
At the beginning of 2020 I worked as private chef in Zodiac Maritim in London. While working, perfecting my techniques and travelling I devised my course of action by the end of 2015: I would become an itinerant Private Chef.
Today I can say that I have achieved my goal with a consolidated activity based on a flexible and responsible service that is constantly evolving in accordance with a changing world.
My offer is a simple one: I take over the kitchen and you relax and enjoy your free time with family and friends. Indulge yourself with a unique flavour experience.
