About Chef Paula Garcia 

Paula Garcia is Brazilian, lives in Beijing for more than 3 years and is living as a nomad ex-pat since 2012. Every 2 or 3 years she moves from place to place, starting from the USA, Sri Lanka and now, China. With a Psychology Bachelor’s degree, she worked for 10 years in the HR area, before deciding to change her path. Always curious about food, being a foodie for her whole life and coming from a family with a huge background in food, she decided to embrace the dream that she was always trying to push away. She took a Culinary Arts degree back in Brazil.

Now she is trying to immerse herself in the food cultures she is being able to know by living in those different countries. In each new country she is able to live in, she feels more Brazilian than ever and understands the value of Brazilian food in the gastronomic world. Always looking forward to helping people to understand more about her home country and its food culture, she joins The Hutong to share her knowledge and learn with people from all over the world.
