About Chef David & His Cuisine
I'm David Salgado, a Colombian private chef with over 10 years of experience designing elevated, wellness-focused dining experiences that blend Latin American roots with California seasonality. From Michelin-level kitchens to exclusive private dinners and wellness retreats, I specialize in vibrant, nutrient-dense meals tailored to each client's preferences.
My culinary style is rooted in clean eating, bold flavor, and cultural storytelling. Whether preparing daily meals or multi-course tasting menus, I create food that nourishes and delights.
Latin soul. California ingredients. Wellness-driven fine dining.
