Chef Marie Martinez

Hello, I’m Marie — Your personal home chef in Budapest.

I’m a Venezuelan-Hungarian mother, a joyful and energetic woman with a passion for food, wellbeing, and bringing people together around the table to share emotions ,amazing flavors and colors. Having called Budapest home for the past eight years, I bring together the vibrant flavors of my South American heritage and the richness of my European roots to create delicious, nourishing, homemade meals.

Coming from a big family where food has always been a beautiful expression of love, and a very important moment everyday: to be together tasting unforgettable flavors, I believe that a good meal is so much more than what is on the plate. It is about comfort, connection, happiness, and the pleasure of sharing something truly special.

I would love to bring that feeling into your home.

I currently have availability to dedicate my time, creativity, and personal care to family and friends looking for fresh, meals prepared in the comfort of their own kitchen. I am also available for special occasions, parties, intimate dinners, anniversaries, proposals and all kinds of celebrations or gatherings. (For special ocassions I can add little details like: candles, flowers, and my touch). Surprise your people with love !

My cooking is all about colors & flavors, fresh ingredients and a homemade touch. I create personalized menus tailored to your tastes and needs, combining quality proteins & seasonal vegetables. From comforting everyday dishes to colorful international cuisine, I love transforming simple, natural ingredients into meals that are as beautiful to look at as they are delightful to eat.

For me, every plate is a little piece of art, prepared with attention, creativity, and heart. Important: Due to a seafood allergy, I do not prepare seafood/sushi/paella.

I can prepare salmon or tuna fillets only...and also in a very delicious way!

If you want to make a special occasion even more memorable, my goal is to make your moment special and your moment: Fantastic! — with food that nourishes the body and brings joy to the soul.

If you are looking for someone who cooks with warmth, passion, and genuine care, I would be delighted to meet you.

Let me create something delicious, and make your next meal or celebration truly special.
