Appetizers to impress

Starting a celebration requires a dish that awakens the palate. In this section of the cookbook, you will find sophisticated appetizers that balance tradition with innovation. Discover how Chef Roberto Vázquez of Velas Vallarta reinterprets a classic roasted pear, and the elegant European recipe from Chef Oscar Morales of Mar del Cabo, which promises a creamy soup with a velvety texture and a warm flavor for the start of the night.

The soul of the dinner

You can choose from the luxury of Italian cuisine with a special recipe from Chef Antonio La Monica of Grand Velas Los Cabos, a British culinary classic with a delicious twist, courtesy of Chef Nahúm Velasco of Grand Velas Riviera Maya, or a dish that highlights French sophistication by Chef Guillaume Morancé of Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit.

An exquisite finale

Dinner culminates with a sweet note that is pure artistry. Discover the avant-garde touch of an apple-and-yuzu tart, created by Pastry Chefs Armando Briseño and Nattan Izquierdo of Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos. Also included is the warmth and tradition of the apple pie from Chef Sandra Macías of Casa Velas; the flavor of prunes (dried plums) and almond liqueur giving it an innovative twist.
