Chef Bobby Arroya
Private Chef In PhoenixGet to know me better
Cooking allows me to express my creativity while bringing joy to people through the power of taste.
I am a professional chef with 18+ years of culinary experience. I have worked in various outlets in the industry from small mom and pop cafes to nine hundred room, 5 star resorts. I have a love for Italian/Latin cooking with big, bold flavors and a rustic presentation. Three years ago I started my own cooking company, Cozey. I focus on local ingredients and scratch cooking hosting private dinners pop ups, catering and meal prep.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
An outlet. I love being above to nourish people and bring enjoyment to someone’s day through culinary experiences.
I learned to cook at...
At some of the top restaurants and resorts around the country located in Arizona, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and California.
A cooking secret...
Always staying calm and collected while under pressure!
