Christian Sala was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His passion for European food came from growing up with family from France, Spain and Italy, and some of his first cooking lessons came from his parents and grandparents.

Sala graduated with honors and received a Bachelor's degree in Communication and Advertising. After that he began to study culinary arts at The BUE Trainers, Gate Gourmet, Argentina, which is one of the best culinary schools in South America.
