«The way to someone’s heart is through their stomach.»

Fabián León is passionate about communication and gastronomy and is an entrepreneur and full-time food hacker. 

“I want to show that anyone can cook. After some tough challenges and a lot of pressure, I managed to make my dream come true, when I reached the finals in the first edition of MasterChef. Since then, I’ve been devoting my time and energy to helping people to cook more often and better. And what’s the only ingredient you need for that? Enthusiasm. The rest, like salt and pepper, you have at hand.

“With an online community of almost 100,000 people, I’m now in the middle of my third and most ambitious project in the world of audiovisual production and the creation of online communities. Chosen in 2018 by The Objective as one of the most influential instagramers in Spain, and food ambassador for Carrefour Spain, we’re currently generating audiovisual content for digital platforms aimed at promoting easy, quick and healthy meals to cook at home.

“I participated in MasterChef in 2013, when I had just turned 18. We travelled all over the country, learning about its customs and traditions and developing our skills along the way. Making a paella for 100 people in the middle of Albufera in Valencia, preparing a dessert in the kitchens of the Ritz in Madrid and feeding 300 soldiers were just some of the challenges we faced. With MasterChef I improved my cooking and learned to better manage my time, pressure, the team, and myself.”
