As a private chef and catering company, we are happy to accommodate to fit your dietary restrictions. My name is Carolina Zubiate and I have always had a passion for cooking. Growing up in Lima, Peru, I was lucky enough to enjoy and learn from my grandfather's cooking. One of my first memories in the kitchen was when he let me peel the beans that he had soaked overnight. From that day forward, I w
ould hide under the kitchen table, watching and admiring the way he cooked, waiting patiently for him to realize he was missing something so we could venture to the bodega together. When I was 13 years old, my family moved to the United States. After a few short years, an accident forced my grandfather to move back to Peru. It was an overwhelming feeling, not knowing when I would see him again. I joined a cooking competition through my high school to keep my mind off of him not being around; I quickly realized that cooking was all I ever wanted to do. After graduation, I applied for a job in a hotel and quickly worked my way up to a line cook position. A few years later, I began a job with a new Peruvian restaurant in DC where I picked up several new techniques and gained a better understanding of an open kitchen. I grew such an appreciation for the cleanliness, the attention to detail, and the countless interactions you're able to share with your guests as they watch you prepare their meals. In 2015, I moved to Colorado, and I had trouble finding a job that matched my previous experience in the kitchen. I worked a few front of house positions to remain in the industry and I never lost sight of my dream. Through conversations with close friends, I realized that my dream to be a chef was in my own control. I am proud to be able to share the meals of my country in the comfort of your home. Cooking, to me, has always and will forever be more than just a meal. So let's make memories, learn from each other, and enjoy some good food.
