About

I am a professional chef with a strong culinary background and years of hands-on experience working in high-end restaurants and managing my own food businesses. I trained in top U.S. establishments, including The Capital Grille and Weber Grill, where I refined my skills in technique, flavor development, kitchen operations, and premium guest service.

I later owned and operated two successful Japanese restaurants in Bogotá, Colombia, where I led menu creation, staff training, quality control, and daily production. This experience strengthened my ability to design diverse menus, maintain exceptional standards, and deliver consistent, high-quality meals at scale.

Today, I bring that same level of expertise to my work as a personal chef and founder of Chef Caro Meal Preps, specializing in healthy, fresh, and home-style meals prepared with professional precision. I provide customized weekly meal prep services, private chef experiences, and tailored menus for individuals, seniors, and families seeking convenience without sacrificing quality or nutrition.

My clients value my reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to cooking with care. Whether preparing meals for specific dietary needs or creating wholesome menus for everyday life, I deliver food that is flavorful, balanced, and made with the highest standards.
