THE PERSON BEHIND FUEGO Y ARROZ
Kike Hurtado, your private chef in Málaga
I have spent more than 16 years in professional kitchens. Fuego y Arroz brings that journey to your table through live cooking, signature rice dishes and menus to share.
I enjoy cooking close to the people who will be sharing the food: choosing a menu with you, preparing it in your home and making the kitchen part of the gathering.
A JOURNEY THROUGH DIFFERENT KITCHENS
Mediterranean roots and Asian influences
I have learned and worked in the United Kingdom, Málaga, Ibiza and Munich. Those experiences introduced me to techniques and Mediterranean and Asian kitchens that now shape my menus.
My background includes Taberna Uvedoble, Antonio Martín and Candado Beach. I worked as sous chef at Izakaya Asian Kitchen & Bar, and my introduction to Fuego y Arroz also describes my role as executive chef at La Buena Muerte.
One idea connects that journey with this project: cooking to bring people together around a table.
The produce, the fire and your table
It starts with a conversation: what you are celebrating, who is coming and what you would like to eat. From there, I prepare a menu and work through the service details with you.
I can cook rice live or prepare a Mediterranean, Asian or street food menu. The dishes have different characters, but the aim is always the same: you enjoy your guests while I take care of the kitchen.
From start to finish
I handle the shopping, cooking and kitchen cleaning. Before the day, we review the space, equipment and dietary preferences to consider.
I work in homes and villas across Málaga and the Costa del Sol, where a meal can be enjoyed at a more relaxed pace.
