Private Chef Experiences Rooted in Seasonality, Story & Latin Flavors
Curated, private dining experiences for intimate gatherings, milestone celebrations, and unforgettable food moments. Now booking limited engagements.
More Than a Meal - It’s a Story Told in Courses
Every experience is built around the people in the room and the food that’s in season. Whether it’s a family celebration or an elegant winery dinner, I craft multi-course menus that reflect the vibrancy of Latin flavors, the bounty of the Central Coast, and the artistry of fine dining.
Sample Features:
Custom multi-course menus (typically4-6 courses)
Sourcing from local farms and purveyors
Wine pairing guidance or collaboration
Full service: setup, plating, and light cleanup
Available for homes, estates, rentals, wineries, and more
