Chef Carlos Peguero

Private Chef in Santo Domingo

I am a professional chef with several years of experience and formal training in international cuisine. I have had the privilege of working in high-end restaurants, where I refined both modern and classic culinary techniques. Although I am based in the eastern region of the country, I am available to work in other areas whenever the conditions are suitable.”

For me, cooking is...

For me, cooking is the craft of transforming simple ingredients into meaningful experiences. It is precision, creativity, and respect for the product.

I learned to cook at...

High training educational institute in Caracas Venezuela

A cooking secret...

“My secret in the kitchen is discipline: knowing the technique, respecting the product, and elevating every detail until the dish speaks for itself.”
