I'm rafael, I'll be your chef-friend.
After decades in the five-star restaurant, luxury hotels and resorts industry, I pivoted my expertise and experience online, thanks to the pandemic of 2020. Come and learn how to cook gourmet meals the same way I have since taught hundreds of students how to cook just like a chef from their own kitchens.
Hey there!
Who said cooking should be a one-man or one-woman show? If the kitchen is the heart of the home, then we should be spending more quality time with family right there.
I know, I know, you're always on the run, how can cooking even be a joy?
Let me help you plan and prepare your weekly meals. I may be a professional chef, but I am still a husband, and a father of two kids who are always hungry when they get home from school. Like you, I work a full-time job yet the kitchen is still my department at home.
I know what it's like to have that burning question nightly, "What are we having for dinner?" You're in the right place. I'm here to give share with you what I plan, prepare and cook for my family of 4 (well, 5 if you count my rescue lab, always waiting for scraps) and make dinnertime something to look forward to again.
My superpower is helping families craft restaurant quality meals so they can experience the joy of cooking and become the in their own kitchens.
