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.
Services
Classes & workshops
The perfect family activity.
Whether you’d like me to demonstrate how to make the dishes or you want to get hands-on, we’ll make it happen!
Retreats
There’s something special about cooking for retreats. The rhythm, the energy, the way food becomes part of the experience. Feel free to contact me if you’d like to bring me into your retreat.

In this new modality I prepare your breakfast, lunch, beach snacks, and dinner—one full day of fresh cooking designed for sharing.

A taste of home, delivered. On select days, enjoy special dishes—from Caribbean rice and beans to hearty shepherd’s pie—ready to savor in the comfort of your own table.
