Chef Chubb Carlos
Private Chef In AmblerGet to know me better
Cooking has always been my passion. I worked many years in Alicante and Seville, Spain and currently run my own personal chef business in the area.
I am a professional chef with over 10 years of experience in restaurants in Alicante and Sevilla, Spain. My formal training occurred at ESAH in Seville, Spain and informal under the supervision of my father, who attended the Cordon Bleu Culinary School in Paris. I also take pride in all the home cooking skills I learnt from my mother and grandmother, especially with paellas and other Mediterranean culinary icons.

I learned to cook at...

A cooking secret...
