Get to know me better

A chef who transforms fresh, honest Costa Rican ingredients into refined, fire‑driven experiences that feel both rooted and unforgettable.

I cook with fresh, seasonal, and responsibly sourced ingredients, avoiding artificial additives or colorings. My cuisine celebrates Costa Rican flavors, coastal freshness, and open‑fire techniques. I enjoy family‑style service because it connects guests to the roots of our culinary traditions.

I offer seafood‑focused menus, wood‑fired experiences, and curated themed dinners, always adapting to dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten‑free). Whenever possible, I love cooking outdoors—by the ocean, in the mountains, or under a tree—to create a warm, memorable, and personalized experience.

a way of honoring the land, the fire, and the people you feed — transforming fresh, honest Costa Rican ingredients into experiences that feel warm.

I learned to cook at...

through formal studies in Argentina, Panama, and Costa Rica, and further enriched my skills by immersing myself in the diverse culinnary cultures.

A cooking secret...

My secret in the kitchen lies in the perfect balance of passion, creativity, and attention to detail, infusing each dish with a touch of love.
