About Me

Growing up in NYC, there was always diverse and amazing food around me. I started cooking when I was a teen, watching my dad cook up all his favorite dishes that he learned from his mom back home in Peru.
After college I worked in multiple high-end kitchens. Starting in French cuisine and moving my way through, British, German and Mexican cuisines. I have had the honor of working under numerous Michelin Star chefs, in addition to working exclusive private events. I am very proud that while working at Oxomoco in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, we earned a Michelin Star.
Throughout the last 10 years, I have learned many different techniques using various ingredients -which I utilize in my dishes constantly. I also love to travel, not only to get cultured but to get inspired through different styles of cooking throughout the world. Peru is the backbone of my style of cooking, I love using its flavors and Japanese influence. From ceviche, tiraditos, anticuchos to other traditional and non-traditional dishes.
I like to consider myself a modern chef with a rustic approach, and also fusion with different flavors and techniques. Once I get inspired I find a way to use it in my cooking either when I do private events and dinners or just in my test kitchen. My ultimate goal is to provide an experience that people cannot find anywhere else.

Chef Robert was awesome. This was our first chef at home experience and he did not disappoint. He explained his delicious dishes origins and exotic spices. At the end you feel ambitious enough to get into the kitchen yourself.

4+ Course Plated Meal for 6 - Maria (ID 691815)

What an unforgettable experience! Robert was extremely professional, knowledgable and so creative with a one-of-a-kind menu! Each course was incredible, I don't think I could pick a favorite. My friends absolutely loved everything about it and they will definitely be asking Robert to host future events. We all joke with the idea of making excuses to celebrate something and have him design a menu and cook for us at home!

Chef Rob is amazing!! My husband and I had never used Table at Home and wanted to try it for a party we are throwing at our house soon. We were very interested in Chef Rob based on his innovative menu— it really spoke to the kind of event we were hoping to host: elevated and special— beyond anything we would be able to pull off on our own. We were nervous to dive right in a book the party having never used this service before, so we booked Chef Rob to come to our house and make us dinner a few weeks before the actual event. Now i wish he could make us dinner every night!! He prepared a 4 course plated tasting menu for us to get an idea of his style. The food was both beautiful and delicious— especially his pollo a la brasa and chocolate mole cake (YUM!). Needless to say, we’re excited to be working with Chef Rob for our upcoming dinner party— he has been very attentive to our messages back and forth through the site and has worked closely with us to edit the menu for our 14 guests. We highly recommend Chef Rob— especially if you are looking for a chef who is not only talented in the kitchen but also dedicated to providing you with the exact experience you’re looking for!
