Get to know me better

“Intimate culinary experiences, thoughtfully crafted with care, presence, and purpose.”

My name is Karen, a private chef from northern Mexico, based in the Riviera Maya.

I began my journey in 2016 and founded KAKAW in 2020, driven by the desire to create intimate culinary experiences shaped around each guest.

My background in culinary arts and hospitality has allowed me to work closely with clients from different cultures, understanding their needs and transforming meals into meaningful moments.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

A way to connect, tell stories, and create meaningful moments around the table.

I learned to cook at...

Culinary Arts school in northern Mexico, shaped by years of hands on experience across the Riviera Maya and first inspired by my mother.

A cooking secret...

Listening closely, cooking with intention, and honoring every detail, from ingredients to the final experience.
