More about me

For me, cooking is...

For me, cooking is an act of love. It's the way I show I care for others. It's my creative outlet—a way to express emotion and tell a story.

I learned to cook at...

I learned at my grandmother's side, in her bustling kitchen filled with the scent of simmering spices and fresh herbs from the garden.

A cooking secret...

My secret in the kitchen isn't a special tool or a secret ingredient. It's patience and respect.

Stefanos Kokkalis was superb! I cannot recommend him enough! Every dish was amazing, some guests were also vegetarian in which he catered to

We really enjoyed Chef Stefanos and his food. His price was also fair and more affordable then most of the chefs that I received quotes from. The food was a really good introduction to Santorini and the orange cake with homemade ice-cream at the end was chef's kiss to a perfect meal.

Chef Stephano was truly exceptional! He arrived early and had to make multiple trips carrying the food and supplies up and down many stairs - that had to be exhausting. He was pleasant and professional - the right amount of interaction not to from our family reunion and vacation. The menu he prepared was authentically Greek and was so delicious and the presentation was beautiful! The entire experience was 5 star!

Chef Stefanos was amazing! All the food was incredible. He was extremely communicative and helpful when there were slight issues that arose with our Airbnb. We could not have asked for a better experience.
