HERMANOS TORRES

Spanish twins, Sergio and Javier Torres, were always going to be chefs. Their grandmother, they say, ‘inadvertently instilled in us a love of cooking,’ and by the age of 14 they’d both been accepted into culinary school. Cleverly they honed their skills in different stations and kitchens, amassing a multitude of skills between them. Their innovative cuisine speaks of Spanish tradition and childhood memories, earning them 3 Michelin stars over the years for their Barcelona restaurant, Cocina Hermanos Torres, as well as a Michelin green star. Bringing their spectacular plates to Sani Gourmet, Javier Torres shall prepare an exclusive dinner at Elia restaurant this August.
