A taste of the menu

Menu examples

Every menu is customized to your group. Here’s a sample of what I love to cook.

Breakfasts

To start the day

Gallo Pinto (Costa Rican rice & beans), fresh tropical fruits, homemade tortillas, coffee and juice.

Lunch

A classic casado

Casado with your choice of protein — fish, chicken, or vegetarian — plus fresh salads and fried plantains.

Dinners

Hearty & traditional

Arroz con pollo, vegetable stew, and yucca fritters, served with local sides.

Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options always available.

Good to know

Frequently asked

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes — vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meals can all be prepared on request. Just let me know when you reach out.

Do we need to provide kitchen equipment?

Usually no. Most Airbnbs already have the basics — plates, cutlery, and pans — which I can use. I’ll only bring along any special utensils or ingredients that might be missing and are needed for the recipes.

Can we book just one meal?

Yes. A single meal is absolutely possible, though multi-meal and multi-day packages offer the best value for your stay.

Pricing

Tailored to your stay

Pricing depends on your group size, how many days, and which meals you’d like. Because private chef service takes over my whole day and calendar, every booking gets a clear, personalized quote. Tell me your dates and I’ll confirm availability and the details.

Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are always available.

Multi-day private chef packages

For guests staying several days, I offer full-service packages that cover every meal of your stay — breakfast, lunch, and dinner, mixed however you like. Ideal for families or groups who want a relaxed, all-inclusive experience with no cooking, shopping, or dishes.

Large groups & holiday dates

Groups of six or more guests, or bookings during peak holiday periods, may have adjusted pricing due to increased preparation time, larger ingredient quantities, and limited availability.

Confirm your dates

Every group is unique. Tell me how many guests you have, which meals you’d like, and where you’re staying, and I’ll confirm availability and prepare your quote.
