Love showcasing my passion for food, cultures, and ingredients through every dish -crafting memorable private chef and catering experiences in Toronto

I’m Andrey Kravchenko, a private chef in Toronto and founder of ThinkOFood, a private chef and catering company serving Toronto and the GTA. With over 15 years of culinary experience, I create personalized dining experiences for intimate dinners, family celebrations, corporate events, and special occasions, bringing restaurant-quality food and service directly to your home or venue.

My passion for cooking started early, helping in the kitchen where my mother worked. Growing up in Israel, I learned to respect fresh ingredients, seasonality, and quality while working in local markets before completing four years of formal culinary training. After serving in the military as a kitchen manager, I travelled through South America and Europe, learning from chefs, home cooks, and local food traditions that continue to shape my style today.

My cooking blends Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South American influences with creativity, warmth, and attention to detail. Through ThinkOFood, my team and I offer private chef services and catering in Toronto, with customized menus designed around your tastes, dietary needs, and the kind of experience you want to create. If you’re looking for a Toronto private chef or GTA catering service for a dinner party, birthday, anniversary, or corporate gathering, I’d be happy to help make it memorable.

The chef and assistant were absolutely amazing! The food was one of the best experiences ever, from the quality to the service. I’d give everything a 1000/10!"

Chef Andrey and Eduardo were incredible. I planned a birthday dinner for my wife based on some of our favourite dishes from our trip to Italy. The food was as good if not better than what we ate in Italy. He was friendly, engaging, and professional. The food looked amazing and tasted even better. Everyone was blown away. They served and cleaned up so that we didn’t have to lift a finger. So well done. Everyone was truly impressed. I would highly recommend Chef Andrey.

Chef Andrey and Chef Francesco were amazing! They made our dinner night absolutely memorable. Right from the initial planning stage, the team were accommodating for all dietary restrictions. They were incredible detailed with the planning so that on the night of, there was no surprises. Chef came on time, was very personal, and once the food was ready, he explained the dish.
