Our Story

Mauricio Galeano

My career has been dedicated to satisfying the gastronomic needs of people from diverse cultures through roles as a Hotel Administrator, Chef, and Sommelier. I have worked as a General Manager and Food & Beverage Manager for various companies and social clubs, collaborating with chefs to design culinary strategies and managing large-scale events. My experience includes catering services for prestigious clients, such as the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá, and co-founding ventures like Cooking Club, where I developed menus, recipes, and corporate training programs. Additionally, I have served as a culinary consultant, private chef, and educator at esteemed culinary schools across Colombia, Bolivia, Canada, and Argentina.

Teaching has been a cornerstone of my career, allowing me to mentor thousands of students in culinary techniques and inspire their passion for gastronomy. I have also hosted cooking shows for over 12 years, connecting with diverse audiences and collaborating with industry sponsors. My involvement in organizations like ACODRES has deepened my understanding of the economic and cultural impact of gastronomy, leading me to judge and participate in culinary festivals, symposiums, and competitions. Today, as co-founder of Flor&Galeano Inc. in the United States, I continue to bring my expertise to new ventures while celebrating the art and culture of food.

My culinary journey began in my childhood, helping my older sister in the kitchen and learning the value of service from mentors at El Casco Hotel in Bariloche, Argentina. This foundation led me to travel the world, immersing myself in diverse cultures, flavors, and techniques that shaped my approach to cooking. In Bolivia, I co-founded transformative projects like the first Cooking Studio and a CoWork space for culinary entrepreneurs, empowering local talent and introducing wine culture to a beer-centric region. With the support of international organizations, I trained aspiring chefs and hospitality professionals, leaving a lasting impact on the culinary landscape.

Now based in the USA, I continue to innovate and inspire alongside my partner, Mauricio Galeano. Together, we have launched ventures that combine our passion for gastronomy with community-building. My work extends beyond the kitchen, focusing on nurturing souls through each dish and teaching the values of creativity and care in cooking. Every project I undertake is driven by a commitment to elevate the culinary arts while honoring the legacy of food as love and connection.
