Claudia Covarrubias

Bakery Manager at Panod (Madrid, Spain)

After 8 years of studying engineering and not finding her vocation in that profession, she decided to study confectionery. A world completely unknown to her at the time. She studied at the Sibaritas Institute in Mendoza, Argentina, but did not work there until 2021, when she moved to Spain.

After a few first jobs, she moved to Spain as a pastry assistant in the Distrito Ramses. After six months she became head pastry chef in one of their restaurants, and after a year she was in charge of the pastry shop for the whole district. In 2023 she won the prize for the best pastry chef in Madrid, awarded by the Madrid Association of Chefs and Pastry Chefs, and was also awarded the prize for the best new pastry chef in Madrid Fusión in 2024.

She is currently the head pastry chef at Panod.
