Passionate about cooking since he was a child, Helton followed his passion by studying Cuisine and Pastry at the Culinary and Arts Ferrandi School in Paris.

Once completed, Helton moved to London for a six-month training programme in Culinary, HCCP and Industrial Quality at the prestigious Eastern College. Thereafter, the freshly graduated chef used his expertise and talent to open his own restaurant in Portugal: “Blitz”, a Dinner & Dance spot that served signature tapas and snacks.
