Chef Paris Montalvo

Chef At Home In Bakersfield

I am a dedicated chef with a culinary degree, drawing on a rich heritage of family cooking passed down from my father who was a chef himself. I have honed my skills since childhood, infusing my dishes with love, tradition, and a touch of my own creativity and flavor. I hold the firm belief that food has the capacity to elicit profound emotions and ignite a sense of comfort, representing an art form unto itself. Something that is sacred. I am incredibly proud to be able to serve others.

For me, cooking is...

Art, life, and a little bit of magic.

I learned to cook at...

I have culinarily skills passed down from my parents and have honed these skills through getting my culinary degree at Bakersfield College.

A cooking secret...

Making flavor bombs from fresh ingredients. Taking traditional American cuisine and Infusing my heritage into my food with Mexican and Indian fusions.
