43. Portuguese gastronomy - José Avillez from Belcanto in Lisbon.

José Avillez is the Portuguese Chef of Belcanto in Lisbon and seven other restaurants in Portugal, one in Dubai and one in Macao. Cooking has always been a passion for José Avillez, but it was only in his senior year of studying Business Communication that he decided to become a chef. He worked and trained with many famous chefs, like Antoine Westermann in Portugal, Alain Ducasse and Eric Frechon in Paris, and finally got a traineeship at El Bulli with Ferran Adrià, that changed his career. We will also hear José Avillez tell about the many global influences that the Portuguese cuisine has gotten during hundreds of years.
