## Resource

Max Rocha is the founder and chef of Café Cecilia in London. He was born in Dublin into a family of creatives. He started working in the music industry, but felt he needed something else in his life. After attending a bread baking course in London, he ventured into the restaurant world, working at iconic London restaurants like The River Café, St. John, and Spring. In 2021 he opened his restaurant Café Cecilia in East London. The restaurant quickly became a hit with locals and food critics. The restaurant was designed with Max’s dad John Rocha, the food leans on the family’s Irish heritage and the staff uniforms are designed by his sister Simone Rocha. In his podcast, Max Rocha will tell about his journey from Dublin to London, from the music industry to the restaurant kitchen and from a stressful life with addiction to running a sustainable restaurant in balance with his life. He will also reveal his favourite places in London, Dublin and the rest of the world.
