Private Chef Necool Kouza

I’m Chef Neco, a Barcelona-based private chef with a background in hospitality and a love for creating intimate, memorable dining experiences. Rooted in my Chaldean heritage, my cooking celebrates the warmth and generosity of Middle Eastern cuisine while also drawing inspiration from Mediterranean flavors, international dishes, and my love of Asian fusion.

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.
