Sous Chef Rosario Siguencia
Rosario Siguencia has been in kitchens since a very young age. She began by working in her mother’s restaurant in Ecuador, where she became an accomplished soup maker. When she came to America, she held a pastry position in a cheesecake factory where she soon became an expert cheesecake baker. However, she wanted to focus less on baking and more on culinary, so she enrolled in various courses at the Institute of Culinary Education to enrich her expertise and has now been with Cater to You Food Service since 2008.
Rosario loves the everyday excitement that her team shares in the kitchen. “Our team works so great together and it is really something to see the rush we live in the early morning hours, and then the results just a few hours later once lunch is served,” she shares. When not in the St. David’s kitchen, Rosario enjoys making healthy soups and salads in her own kitchen with her husband and son. Her favorite food is Italian, especially squid ink pasta. She also enjoys reading and going to the gym.
