Chef Martin can be seen on:

Born in Mexico City by a hardworking, dedicated Mother, the versatility of ingredients were shown to Martin at an early stage. At seven years old, he was already part of the kitchen household responsibilities and showing his passion for cooking. Having three brothers and three sisters made a large family and with Mexican European traditions, needless to say, there was a lot of cooking involved. It is no surprise that Chef Martin fell in love with the art of cooking from a very early age.

In 1988 Chef Martin graduated in Mexico City with a degree in tourism and languages. To go back in 1989 to get his Degree in Culinary Arts.

After travels to Europe, Mexico, and South America, Chef Martin has created an array of dishes of multicultural cuisines and started to combine ingredients from all around the world to create pieces that now all of us are more accustomed to.

His background and his love of art, along with his cooking, married into what he calls now Mexican Novelle, a cuisine with European undertones.

In 2009 Chef Martin was the founder of ChefMartin.Net and ChefMartinLopez.com developing this nonprofit site to share his feelings and passion about his cooking and the community. He now has thousands of followers on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and his website, as he continues to cook, write, document, develop recipes, concepts and share his passion for his cooking and food trends. He is often seen on TV shows and is a daytime television Chef for Great Day Saint Louis KMOV CBS. He also does live public presentations and radio around the country including Univision, CBS, FOX, and ABC.

"I believe that cooking is a celebration and art, I get my ingredients and I feel the textures, smell the aromas, and then the utensils become my tools, the pots and pans become my palette and the plates are my canvas"
