Get to know me better

Passionate about serving with excellence and care

From a young age I was sure that my career would be related with gastronomy and services. I started my own brand, working as a Pastry Chef, taking orders in my own community. From a constant search for new learning I decided to delve deeper into french cooking techniques through Le Cordon Bleu Rio de Janeiro. That experience changed my point of view and opened many doors for me. I took on a role as a Executive Chef of a big catering company in my hometown, making events for 200 people. Currently, I pursue a solo career working as a private chef, testing my limits and my creativity in order to improve my work.

Marina has been a great asset to our holiday! Not only her food was delicious but she also showed an incredible flexibility. Our group size varied from 10-20+ people and she handled with perfection the meals size. Always with a smile, always on time, she would make suggestions on the menu of the week, adjusting to our queries of French cuisine but also kids friendly menu and more sophisticated meal. I would recommend her 100% to anyone !

Marina and her assistant were fabulous. The food, the service and the ambience they created for our informal large family dinner was perfect. I would 100% recommend and will be engaging Marina again in the future.

We had Marina at our hokiday villa whilst we were away, and it was to celebrate my friends 40th birthday. She was so accommodating, she adjusted the menu based on needs and likes and was absolutely incredible on the day! There was so much food and Marina took the time to explain everything course and what they were. The food was amazing and we had 4 boys ranging from the age of 9 -14 and all of them tried everything and thought the food was fab too!! I would definitely recommend Marina, she is a fantastic chef but also such a lovely person as well! She made our celebration even more special!

Chef Marina was fantastic! She exceeded our expectations in every aspect of a private chef service.

From first contact with Marina she provided a sample menu that met the brief, including vegetarian options. Very responsive to messages including last minute requests. She arrived promptly on the day and was happy to partake in birthday celebrations. Marina perfectly introduced each course and wine pairings. The food was outstanding and exceeded our expectations, as was her service. The kitchen was left spotless when she left. Highly recommend Chef Marina and hope to get the opportunity to book her again.

Marina est très professionnelle et nous a préparé des plats aussi variés que exceptionnel. À l écoute de nos envies et très aimable avec toute la famille elle a su apporter son expérience pour ces quelques jours. Je vous recommande vivement ces services. Merci Marina

Tivemos uma ótima experiência com a chef Marina. Ela foi muito receptiva às nossas preferências, atenciosa e demonstrou bastante profissionalismo. A comida estava deliciosa e o serviço foi excelente. Sem dúvida, eu a recomendaria novamente.

Marina was incredible, she arrived on time with all of the goodies. This was for my husbands birthday dinner and the presentation was beautifully done, over all the food was excellent - each course was delicious and she accommodated for the kids so there were no complaints! The clean up after - she left our kitchen spotless and we have some leftover to enjoy the next day. Highly recommend and will definitely book again when we come back to town

Chef Marina was great! The meals she prepared were delicious, the portions were great, the wine pairings worked for all the dishes and her and her team setup a beautiful table. She showed up, providing me updates on her arrival, as well as responded to all my questions and requests before hand. Very easy to communicate. If I was back in the area I would 100% go with Chef Marina again she was wonderful!

Marina was fantastic. She made our evening meal so special and timed each course excellently. We were a group of 14 people and had an array of main options including veggies which Marina catered for perfectly! Thank you!

Gentille prévenante et bonne cuisinière

Chef Marina was wonderful, professional, polite and delivered what was expected. Punctual, polite, and talented. Our group of eight coordinated breakfast and a dinner and all moments were spectacular. Dinner's catch of the day was my favorite out of all meals prepared. We had enough leftover from breakfast and dinner that we did not really need to prepare much more food, considering we were at at an AirBnB. Highly recommend Chef Marina!

Chef Marina was amazing from beginning to end. My entire experience with her was top tier. She also offered to help us with any activities we wanted to plan and sent us a list of recommended restaurants. I will definitely book her again on my next trip to Rio!

Marina was incredible! She was flexible until we agreed on a perfect menu, she worked well with all the appliances in the Airbnb I was staying, the food was amazing, the presentation and explanation to my party was great. I would recommend her to everyone!

Incredible food and services Highly recommended The food was delicious Thank You so much for these memories And wonderful time and meals

La cheffe Marina est une personne formidable, professionnelle, attentive et très gentille. Elle a pris le soin de respecter les restrictions de tout le monde et d’adapter les menus. Sa cuisine est excellente, elle nous a fait découvrir certaines spécialités du Brésil !! Elle parle super bien français et anglais. Je vous la recommande à 1000%. Merci encore à Marina pour ses petits déjeuners et dîner au top.

Chef Marina truly made my birthday dinner so special! She listened to my preferences and executed the vision perfectly. The detail of the plating was so beautiful and the cake that she prepared was delicious. I will definitely recommend Chef Marina to anyone looking for an authentic and captivating dinner experience here in Brazil.

Marina was simply incredible. Even before meeting her, I could tell from her photos and bio that she was more than capable of making my birthday celebration special—and she exceeded every expectation. My group and I were so impressed that we engaged her services again for a private yacht experience and another brunch. She was extremely attentive to our preferences and thoughtfully accommodated all dietary restrictions. Her ability to seamlessly blend flavors from different cultures, especially on such short notice, was truly remarkable. Beyond her culinary expertise, Marina’s positive attitude and passion for her craft made the entire experience even more enjoyable. 10/10, five stars—highly recommend! If I could pack her in my suitcase and bring her back to the U.S., I absolutely would.

Unforgettable Culinary Experience: A Must-Hire Chef and Team! Hiring Chef Marina was easily one of the best decisions for our recent gathering. From the moment she and her assistant arrived, they exuded professionalism, warmth, and passion for their craft. The attention to detail began immediately, Our group included a pescatarian and someone who is lactose intolerant, and Chef Marina handled these dietary needs with skill and creativity. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and it was evident that each ingredient was thoughtfully chosen. Highlights included a delicately seasoned seafood dish. Not only was every bite delicious, but the stories and care Chef Marina put into explaining each dish transformed the meal into an experience. Her assistant was equally attentive, ensuring we wanted for nothing, from refilling drinks to making sure every plate was cleared discreetly and promptly. If you’re considering hiring Chef Marina don’t hesitate. This is more than a meal; it’s a culinary journey worth every penny and more!

Thank you for being attentive to our needs and providing great service and food.
