Chef Lienzo was born in Alhama de Murcia, her titanic personality and talent have led her to achieve everything she has set her mind to in the complicated world of professional cooking. Since she was a child she has been aware of the role of bees and pollination in nature, working with her father in the beehives of her native land, and today she permanently defends their figure and conservation by using honey, beeswax and other derivatives in her dishes. She collaborates in the dissemination of the Valencia City Council’s urban beekeeping project, and it is not unusual to see her climbing ladders more than five metres high to save a beehive. Sustainability is a maxim in Lienzo’s philosophy, the choice of small local producers, respectful of the environment and animal welfare, guarantee the excellence and sustainability of all the products they use to prepare their creative Mediterranean cuisine.
