Ivan Brehm is the chef-owner of Nouri (established in 2017) and Appetite (established in 2020), and the creator of Crossroads Thinking, a philosophy that explores the deep interconnectedness of cultures through food. At Nouri, he develops a research-driven cuisine that transcends borders, challenging conventional notions of identity and emphasizing that no culinary tradition exists in isolation. 

His work draws on history, migration, and shared human experiences, presenting dishes that tell complex, layered stories while remaining thoughtful and refined. This distinctive approach has earned him widespread international recognition and numerous prestigious accolades within the global gastronomic community. Above the restaurant, Appetite functions as a multidisciplinary creative space that merges a research and development kitchen, art gallery, and record bar. 

Conceived as a platform for experimentation and collaboration, it brings together gastronomy, visual arts, and music in immersive formats. Through this dual concept, Brehm continues to push creative boundaries, fostering dialogue across disciplines and offering new perspectives on culture, creativity, and the evolving role of food in society.
