(Oranjestad)— Caya House is adding a new member to the family: Chef David Lizano Sarmiento! Born and bred in Peru, Chef David’s passion for the culinary arts started from a very young age and inspired him to work with some of the greats. Now, he’s excited to bring his expertise and passion to Caya!
For David, cooking isn’t just a career; it’s a passion rooted in family and tradition. Growing up in Peru, he began cooking to help his parents, but it was his mother who recognized his innate talent for creating delicious food. She encouraged him to pursue his culinary dreams, and he hasn’t looked back.
David’s culinary journey took him to Nova Escuela and Cenfotur in Lima, where he refined his skills and deepened his understanding of Peruvian cuisine. He had the privilege of working at Madam Tusan, a restaurant by the internationally acclaimed Chef Gaston Acurio, a true inspiration in the culinary world. This experience instilled in him a commitment to quality and innovation.
Prior to joining the Caya team, David led the kitchens of two popular local restaurants as Executive Chef.
