Get to know me better

Inspired by fire, nature, and unforgettable dining experiences.

It all began in Argentina, within a family where my grandmother was a remarkable cook and storyteller, always gathering people around a generous table filled with food, warmth, and stories. My mother carried much of that legacy, guiding me toward fish and seafood , ingredients I’ve always felt a strong connection with.

After finishing university, I set out on a journey across South America, where I developed a deep appreciation for local produce, seasonal markets, and the honesty of regional cooking.

This path then led me to Europe, where I refined my techniques and trained in renowned kitchens, embracing precision and the discipline of fine dining.

For the past eight years, I have been based in Australia , a place that deeply shaped my cooking. I fell in love with its connection to nature, its respect for land and sea, and the purity of its produce, which continue to define my culinary philosophy today.

From the very beginning, Chef Alber went above and beyond to make our dinner truly special. He was incredibly flexible, working with us to customise the menu until every detail was perfect. On the night, he surprised us with a few extra dishes that made the whole experience even more memorable. The food was beautifully presented and every course was full of flavour. Alber professionalism, passion, and attention to detail were outstanding. If you’re looking for a unique private dining experience, I couldn’t recommend Alber highly enough. We’ll definitely be booking again!

We had the pleasure of having a Alber for our recent stay in Dunsborough, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions that left everyone more than satisfied. The menu was thoughtfully designed and very accommodating to our preferences and dietary needs, which made the whole experience feel personalised and stress-free. What really stood out was how much he went above and beyond, not just with the quality of the food, but with his professionalism, attention to detail, and overall service. It truly elevated our entire evening. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable and seamless private dining experience. Thank you!

Amazing experience! We booked a dinner for two with Take a Chef and it felt like a high-end restaurant at home. Chef Alber was fantastic — super friendly, charismatic, and tailored the menu perfectly to our tastes. Every dish was delicious, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Perfect for a special date night or to surprise someone. We’d definitely do it again!
