Private Chef Alex Kyrtsalidis

I am a professional Chef with over 20 years of experience and have been cooking privately for the last 10. I am a culinary school graduate and I have travelled in many countries like the U.S, France, Switzerland to work and learn. I am very comfortable with cooking for specific requests and eager to please the guests with my culinary skills. I live in Mykonos for over 17 years thus knowing exactly where to buy the best ingredients that will help me prepare great meals.

For me, cooking is...

My profession, my love, my life

I learned to cook at...

At my grandmothers kitchen since I was a kid.

A role model in the kitchen is...

The greatest story teller of all times Antony Bourdain

A cooking secret...

My memories that help me create comfortable tastes that I want to share with my guests

Alex was excellent. He had to work in a very small kitchen with all the guests sitting at the table in it also which would have been a challenge, but the food was delicious and presentation was beautiful. He was professional and polite and they left the kitchen spotless - would definitely recommend!

Chef Savvas and his dishes were both phenomena and I would highly recommend him. The food he prepared was delicious and the obvious care of quality he puts into them are amazing.

The Chef and his team were exceptional. One word: AMAZING! Highly professional, always on time and the best quality food.
