Sara cooked 2 delicious meals for us. The first was so good that we arranged to have her prepare a second dinner. Both were delicious and expertly presented.

We loved how she told us about each course and used local Costa Rican ingredients and recipes.

Highly recommend the food and experience!

Our trip to Costa Elena in April of 2024 did not disappoint! We thoroughly enjoyed our home in Costa Elena, compliments of the Horners!

Our group of six adults were most impressed by the lovely Chef Sara Pardo! We experienced a culinary delight one evening during our stay. Her food was exceptional.

We began with a beautifully presented ceviche, followed by a shrimp entree dinner and a silky flan and whipped cream dessert. Her demeanor was so professional and her introductions of each course were very helpful to us diners. Her bubbly attitude made us all feel so relaxed and pampered.

Please seek Chef Sara out for your next private dining affair! You certainly will be impressed! Thank you, Sara, for your wonderful cooking! All our best, the Horners (Texas), the Toloskos (Massachusetts) and the Barbers (Texas).

Sara joined us for the last night of our amazing family vacation. She prepared a beautiful and delicious meal including fantastic sangria and the best paella I’ve ever tasted in any country.

I loved that she shared her story and explained more about each dish. Thank you, Sara, for making our last dinner in Costa Rica so special. We all wish you the best and highly recommend you as a private chef!
