Get to know me better

Female private chef creating vibrant, globally inspired menus and memorable dining experiences tailored to every guest.

I’m Chef Necool, aka Neco, a Barcelona-based private chef with an ever-evolving entrepreneurial spirit and a lifelong passion for food, hospitality, and bringing people together.

My journey began in San Diego, California, where I followed one of my many dreams by opening and operating my own coffee shop. From there, I spent years building my career in hospitality, exploring new opportunities, and developing my culinary skills along the way. Through every chapter, one passion remained constant: my love for cooking and the desire to share it with others.

Rooted in my Chaldean heritage, my cooking is bold, soulful, and full of character. I celebrate the warmth, generosity, and unforgettable flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine while drawing inspiration from Mediterranean traditions, international dishes, and my love for Asian fusion.

For me, cooking is about so much more than preparing a meal or simply eating. It’s about creating connections, sharing cultures, telling stories, and transforming simple ingredients into memorable experiences that bring people together.

**I believe food is like a photograph. It captures a moment, tells a story, and becomes a memory we carry long after the meal is over.**

So if you pick me, just know;

I enjoy building each menu around a thoughtful theme, creating a complete experience in which the flavors, presentation, and atmosphere come together naturally. I design personalized menus for private dinners and special occasions, always adapting to my guests’ tastes, dietary needs, and vision for the event, with the hope of creating a memory that lasts long beyond the final bite.
