Chef John
Cooking is my passion, inherited from my grandmother. In every dish and every service, I put my heart and soul into it—just as she taught me. It’s love in every bite.

I cook with heart, technique, and a deep respect for tradition.

I put heart and soul into every service

Cooking is my passion, inherited from my grandmother. I bring that same devotion to every plate, so you can feel love and care in every bite.

I’ve built my craft through years of training and top-level hospitality

I learned to cook as a child with my grandmother, then continued through culinary institutes and years of professional experience, including working at Four Seasons.

My secret is simple: love in every bite

My philosophy is to cook with love and put my soul into each dish, so you can feel it from the first bite to the last.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Costa Rica?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 89.80 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Local, Japanese, Chef's special, Seafood/Fish and Fusion. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in Costa Rica?

To book me in Costa Rica, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Friends gathering and Romantic night. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?
