Marcelo Facini is a gastronomy enthusiast who left his successful career in finance to devote full attention to his greatest passion: health food. He continuously researched diverse and heterodox areas, travelling around the world and conducting deep studies, with support from prominent sources, such as biochemical engineers, functional nutritionists, and professionals in medicine and gastronomy. Before he could take such a radical turn, the author took courses on vegetarian gastronomy at the acclaimed Cordon Vert in the United Kingdom, the oldest Vegetarian Society in the world. He continued his world journey through many gastronomic schools, taking courses at Le Cordon Bleu (United States) and at Ecole Ritz Escoffier (France). He also took cooking classes on Indian cuisine in the USA, and Thai cuisine in Brazil. In addition to these studies, he is also certified as a Personal and Professional Coach at the Brazilian Coaching Society, and he completed a Health and Wellness Coach Certification, powered by Real Balance Global Wellness Services, at Rice University, Texas, USA. Aside from his acquired expertise and contacts with chefs and friends from several cultures, what encourages him the most is to share all that knowledge with those uninitiated in this complex universe. How? Through a simple, fun, and educational language that promotes easy access to good health and life quality via functional gastronomy.
