Get to know me better

Cordon Bleu–trained private chef who grew up in a family of chefs and ran a restaurant at a 5-star hotel in Corsica: seasonal French and Mediterranean

I grew up in a family where food was at the heart of everyday life. My grandfather, a Michelin-starred chef, taught me to respect ingredients and bring out their flavour.

After training at Le Cordon Bleu Paris, I spent several summer seasons at a 5-star Relais & Châteaux hotel in Corsica, starting as a commis and leaving as head chef of one of its restaurants. I’ve also opened restaurants as a consultant chef and cooked pop-ups in Paris, New York, Mumbai, Seoul and Tokyo.

Since 2019 I’ve been a private chef: intimate dinners, birthdays, company events for up to 80 guests, and whole holidays with families in their second homes, cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner.

My cooking is seasonal and generous, rooted in French and Mediterranean cuisine, with a soft spot for Asian flavours. I shop for the best produce myself, adapt to allergies and dietary needs, and leave your kitchen spotless.

Whether you want to chat about the dishes or barely notice I’m there, I’ll fit the mood of your evening.
