Chef Gustavo Alonso Chef Tavo Cardona

Personal Chef in Winter Park

I am a professional chef with more than 14 years of experience in the culinary industry. I trained at Escuela del Área Andina in Colombia and have worked in several restaurants gaining experience in international cuisine.

I specialize in Peruvian, Japanese, Italian, and Latin cuisine, creating personalized dining experiences for every client. I have worked as a chef at The Eye Orlando and Pisco Peruvian Food, developing full menus and private events.

My goal is to deliver a professional, organized, and high-quality service, taking care of every detail from preparation to cleanup

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is my way of creating memorable experiences for people. I focus on quality ingredients, precise techniques, and personalized service to make

I learned to cook at...

I learned and developed my skills working in several restaurants such as Esturión, Chabuca, El Buzo, and Ají Ceviche Bar at The Eye and The H Orlando

A cooking secret...

My secret is using high-quality ingredients, maintaining strong organization and mise en place, and cooking with passion and attention to detail.
