Paula Silva
ColombiaI fell in love with Bergner’s products at first sight; and once my food made contact with their fine materials, it was a pleasure for all my other senses too. Cutting edge design and the best quality for my Pure Cuisine!
Biography
Paula Silva was born and raised in the midst of the hot stoves of the Las Dos Parrillas and Los Girasoles restaurants in Cali. After graduating in business administration, she travelled to Spain where she became a cook and confirmed her passion for food. She worked in several restaurants and had the opportunity of being on the Caelis team when they were honoured with their 1st Michelin star.
She was chef in her first Khemia restaurant, which was considered as a pioneer of molecular cuisine in the country. She was also a cooking teacher in almost all the schools in the Colombian capital. In recent years, she has worked as a menu creator and gastronomic consultant while continuing with her 8-year-old catering company.
Now Paula is sharing her life story and professional and spiritual growth in Hippie: a pure cuisine establishment that bears her stamp throughout, and which once again is considered as pioneering, but this time for pure cuisine.
Paula Silva was born in Cali and trained in Spain at the School of Hospitality and Tourism, Sant Pol de Mar and in the Hofmann at Barcelona. She grew up surrounded by kitchens and flavours, as her parents founded the Las Dos Parrillas and Los Girasoles restaurants in the capital of Valle.
She has designed successful menus in several establishments in the capital and country. Today she is the owner of a prestigious catering and gastronomic advice company.
The Cook & Chef Foundation is formed by relevant figures from international haute cuisine and young talent who share a vision of the world based on respect, on ethics, and on the good work of signature cooking.
