Chef Suellen Katsuyama

Private Chef in Barcelona

I am a Brazilian chef in a journey around the world for 10 years getting the knowledge of the best flavours and putting it to my kitchen. Verge between ethnic and classic. Caught in the middle of street food and finning dining, somewhere between regional and international. My cuisine bring the roots and sea to the table, felling like a home food, that which hugs you from the stomach, getting your best memories from some special place, people or moment. Its and experience high-low.

South American roots, Mediterranean and Asian influence, mashing up to bring colourful and playful twists to modern comfort food.

For me, cooking is...

Time of creation.

I learned to cook at...

I grow up in the farm, we used to plant and create everything we eat. Vegetables, fruits and also chicken, cow, fishes etc. all my family cooks.

A cooking secret...

Treat the ingredients with care and passionate.

O talento da Suellen é incrível. Ela criou uma releitura criativa de clássicos brasileiros, que nós adorámos. O tiramisù de caipirinha foi um sucesso com todos. Com certeza a contrataríamos novamente. --- Suellen's skills are incredible. She created a creative take on Brazilian classics, which we loved. The caipirinha tiramisu was a hit with everyone. we would absolutely hire her again.

Chef Suellen é extremamente profissional. Ela é super rápida, atenta, discreta, suave. A comida dela é deliciosa, é diferente, MUITO bem feita, bem temperada, sabores icônicos e muito bem equilibrados, além de que ela foi muito pontual. Eu nunca tinha utilizado os serviços e o trabalho da Chef e já estou ansiosa para as próximas!

We had a great time during our lunch. Very good experience!!

Contratei a Suellen para um jantar para 6 pessoas, em casa. Desde o primeiro momento a chef foi muito atenciosa com meus pedidos. O jantar foi um sucesso, rendeu elogios de todos. A comida estava maravilhosa, a apresentação dos pratos incrível. Ficamos muito felizes com o resultado.

A chef Suellen foi perfeita. Do início ao fim. Sempre atenciosa e disponível, muito gentil e dedicada. O trabalho delas agradou e impressionou. Superou expectativas, todos elogiaram a comida e ela.

A Suellen chegou no horário combinado e fez todos os preparos com antecedência, nós acabamos adiantando um pouco o horário do almoço mas ela já estava preparada para nos servir com uma comida deliciosa e uma apresentação linda! com certeza queremos contrata-la mais vezes.

we had a great experience with Suellen; i would strongly recommend her.

Chef Suellen was geuninely fantastic. This is the first time we have used a private chef and it was for our wedding night at Barcelona in a private house. We asked many questions which Suellen answered quickly and took time to explain the process. She was very nice and kind - we booked her to cook for 13 adults and everyone loved her food, especially the dessert. She even arrived when we were not at home cause we had to go for our wedding and she started to prep the food working in a kitchen and everything was on time. Suellen was willingly to chat or happy just to cook the food allowing us to spend time as a family. This was an incredible menu and occasion being able to celebrate our wedding for sure, and we are 100% sure that she can make your any day special as well. Thank you!”

Chef Sueallen was amazing and made our first night in Barcelona very memorable. There was a group of 4 of us which included some picky eaters and she was attentive in trying to accommodate us all. I would highly recommend her for any dinner parties or events you are considering.

We loved our chef. She was punctual, tidy and got on with the cooking with no need for help. We loved the food and getting to spend time with friends, all made possible by her.

Suellen was fantastic. This is the first time I have used a private chef and asked many questions which Suellen answered quickly and took time to explain the process. She was very accommodating - we booked her to cook for eight adults and allowed us to cater for the children. Suellen was engaging from the start. As soon as she arrived she started to prep the food working in a kitchen she did not know creating four beautiful courses. Suellen was willingly to chat or happy just to cook the food allowing us to spend time as a family. This was an incredible menu and occasion being able to celebrate a family member’s birthday. Thank you!

Chef Suellen has outdone herself in all aspects of this private dinner. The menu was exquisite and featured contemporary Mediterranean cuisine with a fusion of Catalan and Spanish inspired touches. She spared no details nor passion in her cooking and really made our experience wonderful. On top of this, she hand made a separate cake as we were celebrating a special occasion. Chef Suellen is exceptional and her heart is in her cooking, which we were very lucky to experience.

Chef Suellen arrived at our home on time, she was polite, talkative and well prepared. The dishes prepared met our expectations! Although we delayed the dinner time as planned but she wouldn't mind extending her working hours to wait for our guests. Overall, it was a pleasant dinner experience!

Chef Suellen did a very good job in catering our private dinner. She listened to my requests, she paid attention to our dietary needs, she came on time, and served us with lovely food. Great positive attitude, polite, and friendly. I'd definitely recommend chef Suellen should anyone fancy delicious Asian-inspired meals.

Wonderful! Was really fun to talk to, food was great and really accommodating, Had a great time

Fantastic friendly chef ????‍???? even brought some beautiful local wine to share with us

Truly an outstanding chef, her knowledge of the art was impeccable. The dishes that were served to us were amazing quality. You’d definitely wanted some second helpings.

There are no words I can find to describe Chef Suellen. She was beyond warm and friendly, incredibly engaging and was also flexible when catering for 5 adults and 4 children who at times could be fussy. We enjoyed learning about her gift as a chef and trusted her to pick the best options for our budget. I would chose Suellen everytime and will miss seeing her at our breakfast table ????

Professional service, well plated and delicious dishes, flexible with equipment that was available in our villa. Highly recommend Chef Suellen ++++
