I’m a chef with 10 years of experience, and I love cooking all kinds of meals while respecting every limitation—gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, vegetarian, and more.

I’ve worked in hotels such as Four Seasons, Marriott San Jose, Sherathon, Hilton Garden, Harbor Reef, and Harmony Hotel, and my goal is always the same: I want you to leave fully satisfied.

For me, cooking represents my life and the way I’ve learned to survive in a world that doesn’t allow any advantages.

I cook with flexibility, care, and a focus on quality.

I cook from life experience

For me, cooking represents my life and the way I’ve learned to survive, and I put that same energy into every dish I serve.

I learned at home, and I refined my craft professionally

I fortunately grew up in the central Caribbean of Costa Rica (Limón) with my mother, who was a chef for more than 35 years, and I learned a lot from her.

I rely on quality as my secret ingredient

I believe using the best quality food makes the meal better, and I keep that standard in every menu I prepare.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Costa Rica?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 75.80 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Chef's special, Mediterranean, Local, Fusion and Italian. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in Costa Rica?

To book me in Costa Rica, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Friends gathering, Romantic night, Corporate and Foodie adventure. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
