Ayô Medeiros

I’m a professional chef from Pernambuco, and my journey began in my family’s kitchen, where I learned that cooking is an act of care, affection, togetherness, and respect for traditions. Over the years, I turned that learning into a profession and carried this heritage through different experiences and into my own brand, Oyá Comidas Afetivas.

My kitchen blends technique, ancestry, affection, culture, sharing life experiences, creativity, and carefully selected ingredients to create unique experiences. I prepare personalized menus for each client—whether it’s an intimate dinner, a family lunch, or a special event. I work with homemade-style cooking, barbecue, and seafood, always aiming to serve dishes that comfort and leave a lasting mark on memory.
