R O S I O S A N C H E Z CHEF AND OWNER OF SEVERAL RESTAURANTS IN COPENHAGEN
By Søren Sorgenfri
ROSIO SANCHEZ WAS BORN IN CHICAGO to Mexican and American parents, and has worked at several top restaurants, including Noma, where she served as head pastry chef. Today, she runs several restaurants in Copenhagen in her own name, with a focus on next-level Mexican food.
WHY DID YOU BECOME A CHEF? I have been dreaming of becoming a chef and getting my own place since I was a teenager. I have always loved the idea of producing something with my hands that is edible. It’s a wonderful feeling to show someone you care about that you have spent time in the kitchen cooking good food for them.

THE JOB AS A CHEF IS A TOUGH ONE. WHAT IS YOUR DRIVE? My passion is to share emotions through food and give customers great service so they feel valued and special. When I see people enjoying my food in my restaurants and relaxing in the meantime, it’s a great feeling. Like holding a dinner party at a higher level.
