I have had the great opportunity of living out a life of intense passions that are a harmonious convergence of five senses that have formed, in humility, the man I am today. Captured through my camera lenses, lights and shadows composed beautiful visuals of life around me. With each touch of my piano keys arose the harmony of grand musical pieces interpreted since childhood. My palate discovered the subtle sensations of the marvelous textures in sauces, creams and unforgettable desserts baked by my mother even as I was enthralled by the distinct flavors and aromas of each wine my father taught me to savor with discernment. These intense sensations formed the core of a harmonious matrix inspired by the great poets like Shakespeare or the accomplished Dr. Gregorio Marañón as well as the great masters of the kitchen the likes of Zyriab, Escoffier, the Marquesa de Parabere and most specially, my mother.
A life’s journey, as experienced through the acute, passionate awareness of these five senses, taught me to be open and welcoming to that which is new while being sensitive and reverent to the sounds, the tastes, the aromas, the imagery and the feeling in Fine Arts and Natural Sciences. This is how I grew up and lived: with a real passion for the special beauty present in all that is true and authentic as succinctly expressed by the romantic French poet:
“Rien n’est beau que le vrai”
(Nothing is beautiful but the true)
Nicolas Boileau
Paris, 1636-1711
This is how unforgettable aromas and flavors are born. When cooking skills and inspiration transform into passion, cooking finds its name as an art form - the Art of relishing harmonious sensations arising from exquisite food and elegant wines.
“For all its menu revamp, the pintxos and tapas served at this old-time favorite remain sinfully good. Terry’s Bistro offers some of the best quality Spanish dishes in the metro, created by the chef and owner Juan Carlos de Terry. His passion for all things Iberican shows through in is cooking”
“Great Restaurant with Excellent Wine Selection. The restaurant is a fusion mix of Spanish and Filipino inspired dishes. The food is definitely in the fine dining category with an excellent wine selection. Highly recommended.”
“I’ve been hovering over a lot of Spanish cuisine lately. One to beat is Terry’s”
