Chef Mauro Mauro

I'm an Italian chef with over 10 years of experience in professional kitchens, private dining, retreat catering and cooking classes. My cooking combines traditional Italian flavours with inspiration from South India and Southeast Asia, using seasonal ingredients, fresh pasta, bold spices and creative plant-based techniques. I love creating generous, flavourful food that brings people together, from authentic Italian dishes to vibrant vegetarian and vegan menus tailored to each client's tastes and dietary needs. Alongside working in London kitchens specialising in French and British cuisine, I gained experience in plant-based cooking at Montali Country House in Italy. I also hold a BSc in Food and Consumer Science, combining practical culinary skills with a passion for ingredients, food innovation and sustainability. I haven't attended formal culinary school or cooked for celebrities, but I've built my experience through hands-on work, travel and learning from different food cultures.
