Iris Jordán
Chef at Ansils* (Anciles, Huesca, Spain)
The young Iris Jordán is head chef at the Ansils restaurant in the Benasque Valley (Huesca), where she took over from her grandmother. An open and intuitive cook, she has a passion for game and poultry stews and bases part of her cuisine on recovering and updating traditional recipes from the valley.
In her work, local and seasonal products are a kind of religion. Her knowledge of bakery and her mastery of various aspects of the sweet world (pastries, ice-cream and petits fours) give her a technical mastery that is evident in the way she solves savoury recipes.
In the dining room, she works in tandem with her brother Bruno, head waiter and wine waiter.
She was a candidate for the Madrid Fusión Cocinero Revelación 2024 award and, together with chef Alatz Bilbao (Bakea), won third place ex equo, the first time this has ever happened in the history of this award. In 2024 won her firt Michelin star.
