Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First a presentation in his or her household or place of preference to find out what they really want to learn about this culinary universe and their culinary preferences.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I started watching and helping my mother since I was 9 years old. At 13, I started working in a restaurant in my hometown as a dishwasher & kitchen prep cook. At 23, I graduated from the culinary school, CENFOTUR, in my country. They sent me to a major hotel chain in Peru to practice for 2 years. When i was in Brussels, Belgium, I learned Upscale cuisine, French & Peruvian. That helped me for when I started working at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York. I would say it was my best experience working for the best hotel company around the world.
