Chef Travels to You

Chef Yapo graduated from San Diego Culinary Institute and quickly learned that he loved talking about food with the customers more than working in the restaurant, so he started working for people directly with local and organic foods in 2009. Chef Yapo enjoys handmade pasta, unique flavors and global fusion flavors, and is very passionate about no-food-waste-cooking and teaching others how to do it.

Chef Yapo is great! He was so gracious with his time and even offered to walk my girlfriend and I through the entire process of the meal! We learned so much and are excited to do some more cooking on our own :)

Chef Yapo was a such an energetic and informative chef who was very patient with all of us family of five! We had a really enjoyable time learning about how to make gnocchi and gnudi and the food turned out awesome! It was a really great experience and my whole family really enjoyed it! Thank you Chef Yapo for a memorable time!

My husband and I learned so much from Chef Yapo about how to peel ginger (i’be been doing it the hard way for years), peel and chop garlic, and how to season fresh fish. Cooking was fun and didn’t feel like a chore. The menu he selected was delicious. We were both so proud of our time in the kitchen and can’t wait to do it again with our family and friends.
