Born in Girona in 1973, Josep started in the professional world at the Hostal de Sant Pere del Tarter, in Andorra, when he was 15 years old. There he worked his way up from the bottom for eight years: sink, pastry, cold starters and kitchen.
In 1996 he returned to the Empordà, at Mas de Torrent, where he stayed for 6 years. Then he spent 20 years as a second chef at Aigua Blava. Since 2021 he has been the chef at La Plaça.
