Welcome to Avant-Garde Kitchen, a website that empowers home cooks.
My name is Renaldas, and I’m a professional chef. Well, I used to be. Now I’m a web publisher. Nevertheless, now I enjoy cooking even more so than I did when I worked as a chef.
But since you landed on this page, I’m sure you want to know more about me and how I am qualified to give you any advice. So let’s begin with a brief journey of my over-decade-long career as a professional chef.
In 2005 a set out on a journey across Europe to learn how to cook. I’m not going to lie; it was hard, especially for a young kid with no experience. But my eagerness to learn propelled my chef’s career fast enough for me to land a good position at a high-end restaurant.
In the begging, I never stayed at one restaurant for more than a year. I wanted to learn as much as possible from different chefs about different cuisines. In twelve years, I moved from one place to another. I was always looking for a better position at more high-end restaurants. And I have to say my enthusiasm was my greatest asset. Soon enough, I was working at some of the best restaurants in London and Copenhagen.
