Zen Gabriel
Most chefs will tell you about the restaurants they've worked in. That's not the interesting part.
The interesting part is what happens at a table when every decision — the season, the temperature of the room, the order of flavors, the silence between courses — has been made with your evening in mind. When the food stops being food and starts being the reason the conversation went somewhere it hasn't gone before.
Zen Gabriel has cooked in Michelin-starred kitchens, built audio and video productions, and spent years studying what it takes to create genuine transformation in a room. He cooks because he's good at it. He got good at it by staying curious about how much he didn't know — just like he's been doing since age 4.
Based in Austin, Texas.
Zen also teaches and facilitates through Presence — where food becomes a medium for exploring awareness. Learn more →
