Chakall is a genuine hard-working culinary genius, as a creator, entertainer and an entrepreneur. His past travels to over 90 countries are his inspiration for cooking and his award-winning recipe book in Portuguese "Chakall Cozinha Divina" (Divine Kitchen). This unique, self-taught chef's TV career in Europe goes from strength to strength as does his thriving restaurant in Portugal, though it all could have been very different if he'd stuck to his original career as a DJ.

We think Chakall will be a complete hit if he continues to work his charms on the British public. He endorses only things he believes in, not only who pays most; he loves celebrity but doesn't charge celebrity prices in his restaurant; he has enormous energy and great karma .

Both companies are from Almeria, Southern Spain and often work together. Here he is again with Nick proving how much he absolutely loves Castillo de Tabernas 0.1º by drinking it!
