About
Personal chef and cooking instructor in Austin, TX. My specialty covers foods from South America to North America. I'm motivated by the stories behind cooking and expressing that story into the flavor of the food. In 2017, my brother and I created Yuyo Peruano restaurant as a celebration of my culinary immersion throughout South America, where I connected with the people and the culinary community from Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, and Uruguay. I was recognized by the James Beard Foundation with a Best Chef nomination in 2019. Due to covid Yuyo closed with many other opportunities to cook for many more than I could have imagined through CookUnity.

Peruvian Seafood Paella
Beans/peas/ carrots with paella? Really...salmon not cleaned o skin side, shrimp (I had 4, my wife 31} too chewy. Tell the chef to look into Spanish Paella. This was a pretty desperate interpretation

Cheese Enchiladas in Beef Ancho Chile Sauce
this dish was tasty but was so jumbled up it was done in transit I'm sure. all the meals were.

Hungry Vaquero Meal
I was honestly surprised with the spice of this dish. This isn't for the faint of heart, it has a deep complex heat. I loved it. I wish it came with a larger portion of pico de gaillo though.

Fish Bites & Sweet Potato Fries
This meal is terrible in my opinion. Microwave fish sticks with cornmeal is disgusting! I tried putting in the oven but it didn't help the flavor much. Would not get again.

Beef Stuffed Poblano Pepper (Chile en Nogada)
All previous meals have been great but this was disappointing. I couldn't discern any beef.
