I blend Le Cordon Bleu technique with musical rhythm to create peaceful, unforgettable private dining experiences inspired by Costa Rica.

Epicurea Atelier A Gourmet Experience

I compose fine-dining experiences where flavor, rhythm, and nature stay in perfect harmony.

I founded my culinary agency to bring a refined yet soulful style inspired by the harmony, peace, and natural beauty of Costa Rica. My training includes Universidad Latina de Costa Rica and Le Cordon Bleu, and I’ve complemented my craft with certifications from Wharton, Google, and Harvard—always guided by a “Pura Vida” balance between technical precision and deep respect for nature’s ingredients.

My international journey—from Barcelona and Málaga to exclusive clubs in New York, North Carolina, and Florida—has shaped a global palate without losing my essence. As a 2024 Culinary Continental Cup (3rd Place) award-winning chef, I treat every plate like a musical composition, and when you invite me into your home I bring a calm, harmonious sensory experience—not just a meal.

My secret in the kitchen is blending the rhythmic precision I’ve built as a professional percussionist with the peaceful harmony of my Costa Rican roots and Le Cordon Bleu technique.

What I bring to your table (in my own way).

I cook with calm precision

For me, cooking is the art of composing peaceful and balanced experiences inspired by nature—where every element has purpose, clarity, and flow.

I combine training and real-world mastery

I learned my foundations at Le Cordon Bleu and the Latin University of Costa Rica, and I refined my craft through years of international experience in Costa Rica, Spain, Colombia, and the USA.

I turn rhythm into flavor

I blend the rhythmic precision of my life as a professional percussionist with the peaceful harmony of my Costa Rican roots and Le Cordon Bleu technique to create experiences that feel effortless and memorable.
