Chef Oscar Taskiran
Chef At Home In El Cerrito
Cooking has always been my greatest passion. It’s more than just a job to me—it’s an art and a way of life. My journey in the culinary world began at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, where I developed a strong foundation in skills and techniques that I continue to build upon every day.
Seeking to expand my culinary expertise, I traveled to Italy and Spain, where I immersed myself in their rich culinary traditions. During my time there, I also earned sommelier certifications, which deepened my understanding of wine pairings and how to craft seamless dining experiences that engage all the senses.
With over 8 years of experience in the food industry, I’ve honed my skills and continuously strive to better myself. I’m driven, ambitious, and dedicated to my craft, always challenging myself to reach new heights. My dream is to open my own restaurant and earn 3 Michelin stars, a goal I’m working towards with passion and determination.
Every day, I focus on delivering flavorful, innovative dishes that create memorable experiences. It would be an honor to share my culinary creations with you and bring exceptional meals to your table that leave a lasting impression.
