Gabriela Filca, Croatia

Junior sous chef restaurant Nebo, Hotel Hilton Costabella, Rijeka

Gabriela has always been surrounded by healthy, organically grown food from her own garden. Where it all actually started!

From a young age, she began to acquire work habits, and in particular, the process of knowing the food from the planting to the preparation and the serving the dish on a table. Her first culinary experiences were with her mother, who taught her all the family recipes.

In just a few years, alongside the young chef Deni Srdoč, who has already gained one Michelin star for restaurant Nebo, Gabriela improved her skills and reached very quickly the position of junior sous chef. A hard work and a passion for the food contributed to her success.
