Meet Manuel Soler

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Manuel Soler a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Manuel, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.

When I realized my passion for cooking it ignited a fire within me that ultimately led to finding my purpose as a cook, and with time and experience becoming chef. Growing up I was always fascinated by the transformative power of food; its ability to evoke emotions, bring people together, and tell stories. As I began experimenting with flavors and techniques, I realized that cooking wasn’t just about following recipes, but about creativity, connection, and community. Through trial and error plus culinary training (stay always learning), I attained the skills necessary for my chosen path. With every plate I Serve, or meal I prepare for family and friends, the goal remains the same…knock your socks off!

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
