I am Eddy Villalta Navarro. I was born in Costa Rica 46 years ago, and I have spent around 27 years in the world of gastronomy.
I started my culinary studies at the age of 19 at INA (National Learning Institute) in Costa Rica. I completed a supervised internship at the Intercontinental Hotel in San José, where I worked for 8 years, developing my skills in different areas of banquet kitchens and the Mirage Restaurant, which specializes in French cuisine. I obtained professional cook certification through WACS (currently Worldchefs) in Costa Rica. I also took various courses and worked alongside international chefs in gastronomic festivals at the hotel.
Afterward, I worked as a chef in Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine restaurants.
I am currently Chef de Cuisine at The Falls at Blue Ridge, where, along with my childhood friend John Emanuel, the Executive Chef, we are creating a fresh, creative, honest, simple, elegant culinary proposal, filled with local and international flavors.
