Chef Bobby: A journey through bold Italian and Latin flavors

I am a professional chef with 18+ years of culinary experience. I have worked in various outlets in the industry from small mom and pop cafes to nine hundred room, 5 star resorts. I have a love for Italian/Latin cooking with big, bold flavors and a rustic presentation. Three years ago I started my own cooking company, Cozey. I focus on local ingredients and scratch cooking hosting private dinners pop ups, catering and meal prep.

At some of the top restaurants and resorts around the country located in Arizona, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and California.

Always staying calm and collected while under pressure!

Culinary passion

An outlet. I love being above to nourish people and bring enjoyment to someone’s day through culinary experiences.

Learned cooking

Alongside different chefs who transmitted the values, the taste for a job well done, and the desire to improve.

Secret ingredient

Respect the product, give it love and flavor, sublimate it and bring greediness that delights all senses.
