Chef Antonio Daniel Hidalgo
Chef At Home in Palma
Get to know me better
Mediterranean private chef with 15+ years crafting authentic Mallorcan cuisine for luxury villas, retreats, and discerning private clients.
Born and raised in Mallorca, I bring over 15 years of professional culinary experience rooted in authentic Mediterranean tradition. Trained under Mallorcan chef Óscar Martínez, I specialise in private villa dining, wellness and meditation retreat catering, and bespoke tasting menus that reflect the seasons and terroir of the Balearic Islands.
My career spans private households in Hong Kong, retreat kitchens across Spain, and a long parallel track in international hospitality management — giving me a rare combination of culinary precision and seamless front-of-house sensibility. I work comfortably in Spanish and English, adapt to dietary requirements and mindful eating philosophies, and bring calm professionalism to every kitchen I enter.
Whether it's an intimate dinner for four or a full retreat programme for thirty, my goal is always the same: food that feels personal, local, and genuinely memorable.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
A way of connecting people to a place. Every dish I cook tells a story about the land, the season, and the person I'm cooking for.
I learned to cook at...
At home in Mallorca, learning Mediterranean family cooking. Later refined my skills professionally under Mallorcan chef Óscar Martínez.
A cooking secret...
Simplicity and timing. I let quality ingredients speak for themselves — the best dish always feels effortless to the guest.
