Public career
From culinary training to the bakery and screen
His Hogarmania biography (Spanish) describes training at the Aiala hospitality school, Pedro Subijana’s Akelarre restaurant and the Thierry Bamas school in France.
His professional work is closely connected with JA, his bakery and pastry business in Zarautz, on Spain’s Basque coast. An obrador, the word used for this kind of workplace in Spanish, is a bakery or pastry workshop where products are made.
On television, he has contributed to Cocina abierta and presented Joseba Arguiñano Sukalerrian on ETB1, part of the Basque public broadcaster EITB. These programmes provide another way to explore his cooking.
His career adds a contemporary perspective to the Arguiñano name: skilled bakery work, pastry and a public voice of his own. The idea of a new generation should not be read as a claim that he has completely replaced another presenter.
