Chef Doris Vlah

Private Chef In Opatija

Pozdrav! Ja sam strastveni, iskusni i uglavnom samouki kuhar s bogatim iskustvom u kulinarskom svijetu. Tijekom godina, usavršio sam svoje vještine kuhajući u prestižnim vilama i čak na luksuznoj jahti. Moje kulinarsko putovanje vodilo me prema prepoznavanju tradicionalnih jela s očaravajućim twistom, posebno inspiriranih mediteranskim područjem.

U mom repertoaru pronaći ćete veliku zbirku recepata koje sam prikupio tijekom svojih kulinarskih avantura. Posebno sam vješt u umijeću slastičarstva, gdje mogu pripremiti divne slatke delicije koje ostavljaju dugotrajan dojam.

Ponosan sam na svoje postignuće, budući da sam 2016. godine bio prepoznat kao superfinalist u uglednom natjecanju 321 cook. Nedavno sam imao čast sudjelovati kao natjecatelj u Masterchef Slovenija 2023, što je dodatno podiglo moje kulinarsko umijeće.,a u 2024 top 16 Masterchefu Hrvatska

Sa 58 godina, dolazim iz prekrasnog grada Opatija, što je svakako utjecalo na moju kreativnost i cijenjenje kvalitetnih sastojaka. Kao kuhar, ne samo da sam vješt, već me poznaju i po tome što sam komunikativan i visoko organiziran, osiguravajući da je svako jelo pažljivo pripremljeno do savršenstva.

Osim svojih kulinarskih talenata, višejezičan sam i tečno govorim talijanski, njemački i engleski, što me čini odličnim komunikatorom i omogućuje mi povezivanje s raznolikim publikama diljem svijeta.

Ukratko, moje kulinarsko putovanje je bilo iznimno i s nestrpljenjem se veselim nastavku istraživanja i oduševljavanju nepca svojim izvanrednim kreacijama.

Greetings! I am a passionate, seasoned, and largely self-taught chef with a wealth of experience in the culinary world. Over the years, I've honed my skills while cooking in prestigious villas and even aboard a luxurious superyacht. My culinary journey has led me to cherish traditional dishes with a delightful twist, particularly those inspired by the Mediterranean region.

In my repertoire, you'll find a vast collection of recipes that I've gathered throughout my culinary adventures. Notably, my prowess extends to the art of confectionery, where I can whip up delightful sweet treats that leave a lasting impression.

I take great pride in my achievements, having been recognized as a superfinalist in the esteemed 321 cook competition back in 2016. More recently, I had the honor of participating as a contestant in Masterchef Slovenia 2023,and Masterchef Croatia which further elevated my culinary expertise.

At 58 years young, I hail from the beautiful town of Opatija, which has undoubtedly influenced my creativity and appreciation for quality ingredients. As a chef, I am not only skilled but also known for being communicative and highly organized, ensuring every dish is meticulously prepared to perfection.

Aside from my culinary talents, I am multilingual, proficient in Italian, German, and English, making me an excellent communicator and allowing me to connect with diverse audiences from around the world.

In a nutshell, my culinary journey has been nothing short of remarkable, and I am eager to continue exploring and delighting taste buds with my extraordinary creations.

For me, cooking is...

strast, ljubav i najvece zadovoljstvo

I learned to cook at...

sama , a nadogradujem se kada god imam prilike

A cooking secret...

ljubav prema hrani, kombinacije neobicnog , tartufi

Doris was an amazing chef! We organized a bachelorette party for 10 girls, and had Doris coming to cook in the villa we rented. She was well organized, easy to communicate and agree with. She decorated the table perfectly, she even prepared small thoughtful gifts. We had 2 vegan menus, and 8 fish/meat menus. She prepared each dish meticulously, she presented them well and the most important, the taste was fabulous. Would recommend her for sure!

A really good and lovely chef, no doubt about it.

We had an amazing evening with Doris. She brought local produce, showcasing the best of Istria. We had fresh seafood, truffles, cheese and wine. Doris was very friendly and accommodating to our special requests (coeliac and nut allergy). We had a wonderful evening which we will remember forever. Communication was very easy and I highly recommend Doris and Take A Chef.

An unforgettable culinary experience with an outstanding chef! We had the pleasure of hosting an exceptional chef at our holiday home. From the very beginning she impressed us with her professionalism, friendliness and dedication. As soon as she arrived, she surprised us with a small liquid welcome which she had created herself. This beautiful gesture is testimony to her attention to detail and her ability to adapt to her guests. It was a wonderful first impression. During the evening she gave us a small delicious surprise to take home and keep as a souvenir. A special highlight of the evening was the birthday cake she prepared. With great attention to detail and great skill, she conjured up a beautiful and delicious cake that delighted the birthday girl and all the guests alike. It was clear to see that she had carefully attended to every aspect of the evening. Communication with the chef was smooth and she was extremely friendly and approachable. Whether it was about preferences, allergies or special requirements, she always kept us happy. Her professionalism and empathy helped to make all the guests feel comfortable and well taken care of. Now to the food itself: All three menu dishes were exceptional. The chef knew how to impress us with her creativity and sophistication. Every bite was a taste explosion and the presentation of the dishes was as appealing as their taste. It was clear to see that she worked with high quality ingredients and had a passion for her work. It clearly showed that she is not only a talented chef, but also has a deep understanding of the harmony of flavours and aromas. In addition to her culinary expertise, the cook was also very tidy and left our holiday kitchen in pristine condition. She took care of everything from shopping to preparation and cleaning up afterwards. I was impressed with her efficiency and professionalism.Overall, the experience with this cook was exceptional. Not only did she bring her excellent cooking skills, but also her kindness, care and attention to detail. I can recommend her without reservation and am already looking forward to the next opportunity to engage her again.

Doris did excellent job. We enjoyed her food so much. All dishes were very tasty. I’m very big calamari’s fun and calamari’s from Doris were the best that I have eaten in my life. If I will back to Istria I would like to try the kitchen of Doris again.
