Mediterranean • Plant-Based • Luxury
Registered Dietitian & Executive Private Yacht Chef
"True luxury is the harmony between indulgence and well-being."
I am Sandra Fernandez. My path did not begin in a culinary school, but in a science lab, graduating with a Bachelor's in Human Nutrition. This unique background allows me to curate dining experiences that are not only visually stunning but scientifically restorative.
My resilience was forged as an entrepreneur, founding Kehesto, a pioneering plant-based food truck where I managed everything from logistics to recipe development.
Seeking the highest standards, I moved to New York City, thriving as a Sous Chef and Manager in high-volume restaurants like Savage and I Love Paraguay. There, I mastered inventory precision and cost control under pressure.
Today, I bring that operational excellence to the private sector, serving HNW families in Florida and managing yacht galleys with discretion.
Unlike standard private chefs, I possess clinical expertise to manage complex dietary needs.
"I believe that true nourishment goes beyond the plate. It is a cycle of respect that begins with the soil and ends with your well-being."
My kitchen operates on a philosophy of connection. Whether I am sourcing sun-ripened tomatoes from a local Mediterranean market or utilizing zero-waste techniques to honor every ingredient, my goal is to create a culinary narrative that is sustainable, healing, and deeply indulgent.
