How to describe fifteen years of gastronomy in a text? How to express the pain for the burns and the cuts, for the wisdom received and the thousands of hours in service? I think it is not possible, but it is even more difficult to be able to express all my passion for gastronomy, which has become part of my life and of myself, it has become my way of seeing and understanding life. But I will try to capture my journey to give you a picture of this beautiful journey that I have made, with the hope that it will continue.
I started thirteen years ago, at 16, to study gastronomy at the High Training Educational Institute, a prestigious gastronomy academy in Caracas, Venezuela, where I am from. Eleven years ago I decided to travel to Argentina, where I have developed most of my profession.
Initially I started working in the kitchens of Caracas restaurants such as “Antigua” and “Cafe Atlantique” (second best restaurant in Caracas, at that time) as well as in the 5-star hotel J.M. Marriott Caracas, reaping solid foundations in my teaching that would allow me to develop fluently in the future.
Upon arriving in Buenos Aires, I worked as a cook and quickly rose in responsibilities within the different work environments where I developed, reaching the position of Head Chef in each of them. Work in prestigious restaurants such as BASA, La Fernetería or Balthazar.
After spending several experiences in restaurants of all kinds, I was hired by the Glovo company (a leading multinational company in the European and Latin American technology, delivery and gastronomy market) as a FOOD SPECIALIST in charge of the development of virtual restaurants for the LATAM market. Here I learned about business development and success cases, as well as new trends and gastronomic models that have become a worldwide trend.
As a result of these latest experiences, I decided to start writing my own story and undertake as a gastronomic and business advisor for restaurants that wanted to improve their sales or adapt to the requirements of new ways of working that emerged in the pandemic.
Upon my arrival in the United States, I decided to create a series of luxury gastronomy services for all kinds of occasions, where you can enjoy personalized cooking classes, party catering and specialized catering for yachts.
