Michele Crispim, was born in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina and holds a degree in People Management. She feels a great connection with French gastronomy and believes that reaching perfection and cooking the classics, is not for everyone.

Deborah Werneck, is from Rio de Janeiro and lives in São Paulo. Deborah is currently an investment adviser and wants to use her knowledge to open her own business in gastronomy.

Both Michele Crispim and Deborah Werneck will be trained in the Le Cordon Bleu Paris and Ottawa Institutes and will be part of the international Le Cordon Bleu network present with more than 35 institutes in 20 countries and 20,000 students of over 100 nationalities every year.
