José Luis
José Luis has loved cooking since childhood. He’s happiest discovering a recipe, trying a new dish or exploring a combination that brings a fresh perspective to tradition.
We’re José Luis and Yurena, the couple behind Platillos.
We started this project with a shared ambition: to build something we could one day dedicate ourselves to full time, bringing the richness of Spanish food to more people — starting here in the Netherlands.
Tapas and paella are part of our story, but Spanish gastronomy has so much more to offer: regional recipes, family favourites and traditions that deserve to be known beyond Spain.
Through Platillos, we want to share those recipes, explain where they come from and give people the chance to taste them.

Yurena loves good food and bringing people together. Her strength lies in organising events and shaping the details that make an occasion feel special.
Platillos brings those strengths together: a love of cooking, the pleasure of eating and the care that goes into hosting.
We began by sharing our journey on social media — what we cook, what we learn and how Platillos grows.
Our gastronomic experiences are an invitation to become part of that journey. From food made for sharing to a more intimate private dinner, we want to bring Spanish flavours to your table.
