From El Salvador to Maui: A Coffee Lover’s Culinary Journey

Written By Maui Private Chef Matt Yakabouski

As a private chef on Maui, I’m always on the lookout for unique flavors and ingredients to elevate the dining experience for my clients. Recently, I had the pleasure of traveling to El Salvador, where I visited a local coffee roaster. This visit not only deepened my appreciation for the craft of coffee-making but also inspired me to bring these rich, aromatic beans back to Hawaii, adding a new dimension to the Maui private chef experience.

The coffee culture in El Salvador is deeply rooted in tradition, with generations of families dedicating their lives to cultivating and perfecting the art of coffee production. During my visit, I had the opportunity to witness the meticulous roasting methods that bring out the beans' full flavor potential. It was a transformative experience, one that I’m excited to share with my clients here on Maui.

Aloha, I’m Maui Private Chef Matt Yakabouski.

I just want to take a moment to welcome you to my website and tell you a little bit about myself. I've lived on Maui for over 20 years and have been working as a Chef for over 30. In my early days, I started as the Sous Chef at Mama's Fish House on the North Shore of Maui. Since then, I have served many celebrity and VIP clients as a private chef on Maui.

Having spent most of my life on Maui I’ve had the opportunity to gain an in-depth knowledge of local ingredients.

I source local and fresh ingredients, whether it be from local farms, farmers markets, or fishermen. This allows me to provide the best quality for my clients and meet their dietary needs.

I look forward to working with you!

Mahalo,

Chef Matt
