Chef Leslly Soriano Figueroa

My name is Leslly Soriano, and I’m a private chef with over 25 years of international culinary experience. My career began in London, where I had the honor of cooking under the mentorship of renowned chefs Gordon Ramsay and Gary Rhodes—a school of excellence, discipline, and passion for the craft.

I continued my journey in Miami, working alongside Mexican chef Oscar del Rivero in the heart of Coconut Grove, at iconic restaurants like Jaguar and Talavera, where I explored the depth and richness of Latin American flavors.

I then spent several years in Venezuela, where I immersed myself in ancestral cooking, working with native plants and offering exclusive culinary experiences aboard private yachts for high-end clients. Later, I moved to Panama, where for three years I led cooking classes and workshops in collaboration with Miele, focusing on refined techniques and culinary storytelling.

Now based in Tenerife, I offer my expertise as a private chef for clients who seek not just fine dining, but a fully personalized gastronomic experience—crafted with care, creativity, and deep emotional connection.

I believe that luxury is not only about Michelin stars or restaurant décor—it’s about intimacy, presence, and passion. A private chef brings soul to the table. Cooking face-to-face allows me to engage with each guest, understand their dreams, and transform those into unforgettable dishes.

I specialize in private dinners, special events, villa service, yacht catering, and bespoke menus for couples or small groups. Every meal is a unique moment, where ingredients, aromas, and conversation come together in harmony.
