Most 15 year old boys are either playing football or video games, Roberto was certainly not your average 15 year old!
This was the time that he decided to become a chef, not an easy decision to make at such a young age.
Drive and passion is what he describes as the source that drives him to be at the top of his game, learning from some of the very best chef's in the world, with this type of mentorship under his belt, he had a one way ticket to success.
His very first mentor, was the one that taught him that it is ok to make a mistake but to immediately learn from it, Chef Christian Bravo - http://www.bravorestobar.com
Kitchens are often compared to being in the army, having a hierarchy along with a certain amount of discipline, Roberto's next mentor was none other than respected Peruvian Masterchef - Rafael Osterling - http://www.rafaelosterling.pe/en/index.html
By this stage, he knew that he wanted to go International with his career, so he then got the opportunity to become the number 2 of the celebrity chef who runs over 45 restaurants around the world, the un-disputed Richard Sandoval - https://www.richardsandoval.com
Already having the position of executive chef, Roberto wasn't done with learning, so he them took the journey back to his native Peru to spend some time in the award winning kitchens, amongst the Top 50 best restaurants in the world, with none other than the celebrated Virgilio Martinez of restaurant Central -https://centralrestaurante.com.pe/en/about.html
Once he came back from his travels to Dubai, with so much experience, it was no surprise that he won the coveted "Chef of the Year " award, no once, but twice in the Gulf region, not easy task considering how many chefs there are in the Middle East.
