Portrait
Chef Gallegos is inspired by seasonally grown local produce and enjoys working with chocolate.
"Chocolate is incredibly versatile and combines effortlessly with fruit, vegetables, spices and herbs alike.
The most exciting aspect of chocolate is that the only limit to the possibilities is my own imagination.
