Get to know me better

Michelin-trained executive chef with 20+ years in private and fine dining across the UAE, Greece and Bahrain. I cook for the table, not for the menu.

I started cooking professionally in Venezuela in 1997 and haven't stopped since. My career took me through fine dining in Caracas, the waterfront restaurants of Thessaloniki, beach resorts in Crete, award-winning kitchens in Bahrain, and most recently a Michelin-listed venue in Dubai's DIFC.

What that path taught me is how to read a table. Not just dietary restrictions or preferences, but what a meal needs to feel like for the people sitting at it. A family dinner in a villa and a private dinner for a CEO's guests are completely different experiences, and I treat them that way.

I work sole-charge. No brigade, no fuss. Just precise, calibrated cooking adapted entirely to your household, your guests and your palate.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

The most direct way to make someone feel genuinely cared for. Everything else in hospitality can be performed. A plate of food cannot lie.

I learned to cook at...

The kitchens of Caracas, where classical technique met Latin American instinct. Twenty-five years and five countries later, I'm still learning from ev

A cooking secret...

Listening. To the client, to the ingredients, to what the occasion actually needs. Precision follows naturally from that.
