Get to know me better

Chef who brings people together through refined, high-quality food, creating memorable and effortless dining experiences.

I’m a chef who truly loves bringing people together through food. For me, cooking is not just about the plate, but about the feeling, the moments, and the experience shared around it.

I started cooking from a very young age, inspired by my mom and my grandma, learning naturally through experience and growing my skills over time in different kitchen environments.

I’ve worked across different concepts, from brunch kitchens to pastry and menu creation, building a strong understanding of both sweet and savory cooking, as well as presentation and balance.

Currently, I’m working as a private breakfast chef during the winter season in Courchevel, cooking for very high-end, international clientele. This experience has taught me to work at a high level, adapt to different preferences, and deliver consistently refined and well-executed dishes.

My style is mostly family-style, relaxed but still elegant and well-presented. I enjoy working with different cuisines such as Mediterranean, Italian, Spanish and Asian, always focusing on flavor, quality and detail.

Above all, my goal is simple: to create food that people truly enjoy and remember saying, " I want to eat this plate again from Ioanna."
