Are you looking for a chef in Nosara?
Let’s chat!

My name
is Yayo.

I’ve been a cook for over 10 years 
My love for gastronomy and hospitality goes for as long as I can remember.

My mission is that everyone I get to share my plates with takes a piece of Nosara back home in their hearts forever.

Friends and family love to eat around the table. I am a huge fan of Costa Rican casseroles and dishes that are perfect for sharing and caring.

Yayo created a gorgeous meal for the first night of my retreat.
Everyone LOVED the beautiful food, prepared with so much love, and tasted amazing.
Yayo also presented each course before we dove in and we took pictures of the food because it looks like art the way he plates it.
The food was filling and nourishing and not too heavy as we had some post-dinner programming to dive into.
I highly recommend Yayo and will for sure work with him again for my next retreat!
