Culinary trained Chef with + 15 years of wonderful experiences :) Chef profesional, con experiencia de +15 años en Villas, Yates, eventos corporativos

I´m a culinary trained Chef, working in Luxury Villas and Yachts around the world for 15+ years, with very good reviews.

I work on and off for the American Ambassador, in her residence in Madrid (from January to March 2023, included, and special cocktails & events. I do not wish for a permanent job)

Also, in 2019 I was chosen by Simon Manley and his wife María Isabel as Head Chef for the British Embassy in Madrid. I finally turned down the job due to the very low budget of the Embassy.

My cooking is mostly Mediterranean, but also Japanese, Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Peruvian… I love the fusion of flavors and of course, fresh produce and discovering new ingredients as I travel.

My life philosophy is Kaizen, Japanese for continuous improvement.

Soy una Chef con formación culinaria, trabajando en villas y yates de lujo en todo el mundo durante más de 15 años, con muy buenas críticas.

Trabajo intermitentemente para la Embajadora americana, en su residencia de Madrid (de enero a marzo de 2023, incluidos, y cócteles y eventos especiales. No deseo un trabajo fijo)

Además, en 2019 fui elegida por Simon Manley y su esposa María Isabel como Jefe de Cocina de la Embajada Británica en Madrid. Finalmente rechacé el trabajo debido al bajísimo presupuesto de la Embajada.

Mi cocina es mayoritariamente mediterránea, pero también japonesa, mexicana, tailandesa, china, peruana… Me encanta la fusión de sabores y por supuesto, los productos frescos y descubrir nuevos ingredientes mientras viajo.

Mi filosofía de vida es Kaizen, japonés de mejora continua.

Catalina was fantastic, we could not recommend her more and will 100% book again in the future.

We used Cata for dinners on two different nights. In the planning stage, Cata was very friendly and responsive. She provided a number of sample menus, and worked with us to prepare a couple of great menus, including accommodating food allergies and children. Cata was very friendly, and her cooking was amazing. She was very knowledgeable on both the food and wine pairings, and the kitchen was left spotless when she was done. We would absolutely use her again!

The evening was Perfect. She was wonderful and the food too. If we come back, we Will choose a dinner with her again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cata made the first night of our holiday one to remember. The 5 course meal was absolutely delicious, couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Cata var mycket vänlig, skicklig och flexibel då vi var tvungna att byta boende i sista stund. Hon lagade en fantastisk måltid åt oss! Vi hade cirka tio olika kockars menyer att välja på och Catas var bäst och mest prisvärd!

As a first time user of Take a Chef, I realize I should have spent even more time in understanding the menu. I would have chosen differently if I had known more about the suggested food. The food for the children was a little disappointing. The salsa was missing and I expected a wider variety of fruits for them, being in Spain in May.

Catalina and the food were amazing. A really interesting woman who gave us a good backstory of the food. Clean up was great. Calm, discreet…..Would highly recommend.

The best meal we had while in Malaga by far!! She was accomodating to our groups dietairy restrictions and made the most delicious meal! I would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!!

Catalina did an amazing job in catering for my 30th birthday. Her food was super taste full and very nice presented. Defo my recommendation for the south of Spain!!

Chef Catalina was very nice and offered us a great menu which everyone really enjoyed. The food was great, the preparation quick and the communication was easy and quick. She prepared everything according to our dietary restrictions and offered great alternatives. We fully enjoyed our evening!

Chef Cata prepared a delicious dinner for our group. It made for a perfect last night in Malaga. I would 100% recommend her. Her food was superb and she could not have been more pleasant!

Catalina was very good. The food was very pretty and very tasty. I would recommend her to anyone!

Wow! We had Cata this week to cook us a birthday dinner for my dad’s 60th. The food was unreal and everyone has not stopped talking about it since. Thank you so much for such a relaxing and delicious meal. Highly recommend Cata!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Cata as our private chef for two nights during our holiday, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, Cata was a dream to work with—friendly, flexible, and incredibly engaging. She made the entire experience seamless and stress-free, and was absolutely wonderful with our small children, bringing warmth and ease into our home. Now the food—where do we even begin? Every dish Cata prepared was nothing short of exceptional. The flavours were bold, creative, and beautifully balanced, and the presentation rivaled that of a fine dining restaurant. Each course felt like a work of art. The standout? Her ceviche with tiger’s milk—utterly unforgettable. We’re still talking about it! Cata delivered a truly elevated dining experience that made our holiday feel extra special. Worth every Euro and then some. Thank you, Cata, for your incredible talent, warmth, and professionalism. We hope to have the pleasure of enjoying your cooking again soon!

Cata was amazing! Food was delicious and service incredible. Cannot fault a single thing

We had the best experience and the food was amazing! I would recommend this chef to anyone, she was very flexible when it came to menu choices and was so friendly. Thanks so much again!

Catalina provided us with a memorable meal. Each course was delicious and was presented with an explanation and looked great. We couldn't have been happier. Despite having some issues with our villas kitchen she remained professional and cheerful. Thank you Catalina.

Catalina was fantastic, her food was presented beautifully and tasted amazing. She was very attentive and took the time to explain each dish to us. Catalina is a wonderful, interesting and professional chef who made my friends 70th an incredible experience, would highly recommend.

We was very happy. Cata was also great to listen about one of us that was allergic.

Catalina was absolutely incredible. I booked her to cater for 14 of us for my friends hen do celebrations. She was by far the most polite and accommodating in choosing the menu. All of the food was outstanding. Every single guest loved it. The paella was the best we’d ever had. Despite our villa being spaced out and having lots of steps, Catalina and the waiter’s service was fabulous and cleanup was spot on. I would absolutely recommend!
