Raised in Guanajuato, Mexico, Gerardo discovered his culinary talents while growing up on his family's farm.
Being raised close to the land gave him a special interest in food that continues to guide his approach to cooking.
Gerardo states, Growing your own food creates an emotional connection I can't explain.
Peeling potatoes you pulled from the earth, preparing meat from an animal that was running around an hour before it landed in your pot - these are special moments.

Having Chef Castro cook a dinner or luncheon party in your home or business ensures a fantastic meal, and allows you to concentrate on your guests, relax and have a good time.
He will create a menu that perfectly complements the occasion.
Food can be served either rustic/family style or plated and coursed out.
Paella is a delicious Valencian rice dish that can consist of a mixture of seafood, green vegetables, meat such as rabbit, chicken and duck, beans, olive oil, saffron and seasoning.
This world renowned delicacy is cooked "out in the open" with a shallow large paella pan for large social gatherings.
