Private Chef Edgar Iván Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico

Passionate about cooking and culture.

My cuisine is distinguished for being risky and creative. My fundamental principle is to seek the most artisanal way to prepare food in order to take care and enhance the natural flavors of each ingredient, being the most important thing to provide an extraordinary experience to my guests.

Chef Edgar Chef with 14 years of experience with an outstanding career in luxury hotels and fine-dining restaurants (Forbes, AAA, among others). Born and raised in Mexico City, I discovered my vocation and talent for the kitchen almost by chance, by joining the workforce at an early age to be able to pay for my own expenses and education. That’s how I began my professional career, first as a trainee and an assistant, until I became a cook, sous chef and executive chef; having the opportunity to work at hotels and fine-dining restaurants in Mexico City and later in the Yucatan Peninsula. Since the beginning, I worked with renowned Italian and Mexican Chefs, with whom I forged my culinary bases specializing myself in these cuisines.
