Gabriel Nunes Biography – Gabriel Nunes Wiki

Describing his style of cooking, Gabriel told the BBC: “My mother and aunties inspired my cooking. Food is tied to celebration and is an ingredient to happy memories for me. Therefore, the style of cooking I’ve acquired is one of comfort food, large portions and crowed favourites.”

Gabriel started cooking at the age of 13. His earliest memory of interacting with food was sorting through black and pinto beans bought at the market in Brazil. He added: “Since I was four or five years old on Sundays I would go to my grandmother’s house and sit at the table with her selecting the good beans and washing them for cooking. One of the dishes I remember fondly is a beef roulade with madeira sauce that my aunt Ivone used to make. Such a nice treat and the first dish I remember as a child.”
