Nino Redruello

Nino Redruello, a young chef in Madrid, resolves to support the city's recovery by cooking simple, local dishes and making them affordable and/or free to poorer communities, among which are the staff and farm workers who have supported his family restaurant business, La Ancha, for decades. His wealthier customers are all paying for the initiative.

“Madrid is on its knees; we all need to start again. Our food can at least give people nourishment and hope. Our local dishes are for the people and their families who have helped to make our restaurants successful for 100 years, and who need help now. We’re thinking about everything again, and this is how we start. We’re making healthy, affordable food, and we won’t stop.”
