About

Hello and welcome! I’m Chef Novo, a professional private chef with over 20 years of experience in high-end restaurants and culinary consulting. I’ve worked across several countries, gaining expertise in Mediterranean, Asian, and Caribbean cuisines, and I love creating personalized dining experiences that feel both memorable and meaningful. I recently relocated from New York to Florida, where I previously owned and operated a culinary consulting company. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish) and specialize in tailored menus, private dinners, wine pairings, celebrations, and family-style experiences at home or private events.

Chef Novo’s culinary skills are amazing. He communicated well by reaching out to me a day prior to my event and four hours before his arrival. The five course meal prepared by him and his assistant was fantastic. I would also like to commend Chef Novo on how he left my kitchen spotless upon his departure from my residence. I will definitely be using his culinary services again in the near future.
