Chef Oscar Ojeda Scar

Private Chef in Centerville

I have been in the industry for over 13 years, this is my 3rd year as a private chef. I love to travel and cook for people. Started my culinary career in Mexico under supervision from an Executive chef from Switzerland, We had a great relationship and I learn everything I know from him, Gourmet meals and Challenges as well as Contest in town were Done for us. Great experience and I miss that.

For me, cooking is...

Cooking for me is Life, it's Fun, it's my passion, I enjoy every moment of it and it relaxes me when I'm doing it. Ot doesn't matter how big or small.

I learned to cook at...

I learn in Puerto Vallarta (Mexico) gourmet dishes with a French and Italian style

A cooking secret...

If it is such a secret ingredient it is, Passion, Love and care. That's how everything will taste better

Oscar was fantastic. We spent the week being spoiled by his cooking and we thoroughly enjoyed his food and his manner. He is a true professional.

Oscar was fantastic! We had 18 people, several with allergies and food restrictions. Not only did he accommodate, he created beautiful substitution dishes that were marvelous. We are a pretty foodie/ hard to please group! Some of the highlights were the salmon, tiramisu, ceviche, cocktail sauce, hummus, mashed potatoes, and all of the vegetables. Having Oscar at the house allowed us to be together for dinner, not trying to get a table for 18 in town. Highly recommend!!

Oscar was great!

Oscar was incredible! He was extremely friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. He created a menu for my Bachelorette party and we had the best experience! Could not recommend him more. 12/10!!

Great Chef! Amazing food, good energy, and very easy to work with.

I recently had the pleasure of a private dinner prepared by Chef Oscar, and it was outstanding. He arrived on time, was professional yet engaging, and paid attention to every detail. The presentation of each dish was beautiful, and the flavors were even better. Chef Oscar explained the story behind each course, adding a personal touch that enhanced the experience. The kitchen was left spotless afterward, which was much appreciated. Overall, I would highly recommend Chef Oscar. The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely use Take a Chef again.

Chef Oscar truly made our Mother's Day brunch an unforgettable experience! His culinary skills are exceptional, and the dishes he prepared were not only delicious but also beautifully presented. From the first bite to the last, every dish was a delightful explosion of flavors that delighted our taste buds. Not only was Chef Oscar's cooking outstanding, but his professionalism and attention to detail truly set him apart. He took the time to understand our preferences and dietary restrictions, ensuring that each dish was tailored to our liking. His passion for food and dedication to his craft shone through in every aspect of the meal. Having Chef Oscar cook for us in our own home added an extra layer of intimacy and luxury to the experience. It felt like we were dining in a Michelin-starred restaurant right in our own dining room! Our family was thoroughly impressed and grateful for the wonderful meal he prepared for us. I cannot recommend Chef Oscar highly enough for anyone looking to elevate their dining experience. Thank you, Chef Oscar, for making our Mother's Day celebration truly special and memorable!

Oscar was amazing and accommodated all of our dietary restrictions which is not easy to do! His food was amazing and he was very professional. Highly Recommend!

Oscar and his assistant were phenomenal making the night so fun and special while celebrating my mother's Bachelorette. No only was he so friendly and great vibes but the food was incredible. Everything was made to perfection and my entire group was so impressed and pleased. I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone.

Our birthday luncheon with Chef Oscar was amazing! Everyone enjoyed his food, the presentation of his creations and his occasional perfect timing banter with our group of ladies.

Chef Oscar was professional and provided a great meal and great experience for our party of 26!

Chef Oscar was wonderful to work with! Great communication and the food was delicious!!

Chef Oscar was all-around fantastic! He was very communicative during the planning process, accommodated multiple food allergies like a pro and was fun and engaging while he cooked. The food was 15/10, cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. He even went above and beyond to specialize a dessert for the birthday guest of honor without being asked. We will definitely hire him again.

Chef Oscar was incredible! He was extremely professional and his food and service was amazing. I highly recommend Chef Oscar for your next private dinner.

Oscar was easygoing, friendly, and professional. Very good to work with and prepared great food! We would definitely use him again!

I hired Oscar for my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. Everything went perfectly. I didn’t have to worry about any of the food, and could focus on my parents and family instead. All in all a great experience.

Chef Oscar did an amazing job
