Chef Jessica Quintero

Private Chef In Playa Del Carmen

Soy una chef profesional con 10 años de experiencia en el increíble mundo culinario. Estudié mi carrera en mi ciudad natal Puebla y allí desarrollé mis habilidades en empresas de catering como Intro Eventos con el chef Ángel Vázquez, trabajé en Mérida para el restaurante “KUUK” y decidí emprender un viaje a la Riviera Maya donde decidí establecerme, trabajé durante 4 años en el reconocido hotel Banyan Tree Mayakoba, donde me enamore de la cocina tailandesa y asiática. Recorrí Europa para conocer la cultura gastronómica ,la magia de la cocina local y aprendí numerosos platillos en España, Francia e Italia. Actualmente vivo en Playa del Carmen y como chef mexicana me enorgullece compartir la rica herencia cultural de nuestra cocina con las increíbles personas que recibimos de Canadá, Estados Unidos y de todo el mundo que visitan la Riviera Maya.

For me, cooking is...

Cocinar es un orgullo y sello de amor, agradezco admirada a la cocina y su respuesta hacia mi y juntas hacemos de este planeta un lugar mucho mejor.

I learned to cook at...

Tuve la suerte de ser instruida por la gran cocinera que era mi abuela, por chefs tailandeses, y recorriendo España ,Francia e Italia.

A cooking secret...

Respetar a la materia prima , ella es la estrella y como chefs tenemos la responsabilidad de cuidarla.

Non seulement la nourriture était DÉLICIEUSE et RAFFINÉE, mais Jessica est un ange! Elle a rendu l’expérience grandement agréable! Nous avons adoré, elle sera fortement recommandé et ce n’est certainement pas la dernière fois qu’elle cuisine pour nous! Merci Jessica!

We had the pleasure of experiencing Chef Jessica's culinary skills during our stay in Tulum, Mexico. Her breakfast creations were a delightful blend of freshness and flavor. From the vibrant seasonal fruits paired with yogurt to the exquisite main course. Picture a perfectly crafted tortilla, generously topped with golden fried eggs. Nestled beneath, creamy flavor sauce, creates a harmonious combination. To elevate the dish, a side of lusciously sweet plantains complements the savory ensemble every bite is a culinary masterpiece. The Mexican coffee added a perfect touch to the meal. Jessica's attention to detail and friendly demeanor made our mornings truly special. I wholeheartedly give her a 5-star rating for her exceptional culinary expertise and warm hospitality. ????????????
