My name is Gabriela, and my world revolves around gastronomy.
I am a Guatemalan chef, culinary researcher, educator, and food designer passionate about transforming local ingredients into memorable experiences. Throughout my career, I have worked in fine dining, culinary education, menu development, and food research, always exploring the connection between tradition and contemporary cuisine.
My work has taken me from Michelin-starred kitchens in Spain to research projects celebrating Guatemala’s culinary heritage. Today, I divide my time between teaching, consulting for restaurants, and creating private dining experiences where every menu tells a story inspired by the landscapes, flavors, and traditions of my country.
I believe the most memorable meals are not only delicious—they create connection, conversation, and lasting memories.
