Nieves Barragán Mohacho was
born in Bilbao in 1975, and by
the age of seven could prepare
a roast chicken on her own.
Playing chef in the family
kitchen served her well: after
shifts in Bilbao restaurants, she
moved to the UK at 23 with
limited English to take a job at
Sloane Square’s Simply Nico.
Positions at Gaudi and Fino
followed, and she quickly
progressed to head chef at the
latter. In 2007, Barragán helped
launch Barrafina. In 2018, with
a Michelin star under her belt,
she opened Sabor in Mayfair.
