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.

Cheesy Chipotle-Tomato Enchiladas
Kind of flat, bland... not bad though

Hungry Vaquero Meal
This is my first meal that I’ve tried. My oven didn’t heat it as good as it should have so I had to go longer, but that’s my ovens issue not the meal. The meal was actually very tasty and filling. The only thing I would do differently is the pico de gallo. I would probably use less of it as it had a little lemon flavor that I didn’t like, but other than that the meal was fantastic.

Hungry Vaquero Meal
Overall, it's pretty good. Savory, but not too salty. The steak is a little tough and dry, so it's best to heat it at the low end of the time recommendation.
