Get to know me better
I cook with passion, I listen to what people love, and I make it happen
Hi, I’m Dan – a private chef with 24 years of professional experience in hotels, restaurants, catering companies, and private households. I had the privilege of working as a personal chef for a family during the COVID period, where I honed my ability to tailor meals to individual tastes and needs.
My culinary style is rooted in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines, but I’m versatile and confident cooking any dish my clients desire. I’m a native English speaker and currently learning Italian.
Cooking has been my passion since childhood. I put my heart and soul into every dish I prepare, and I believe that food is not just about taste, but about creating memories and connections. Whether it’s an intimate dinner or a special occasion, I’m here to make your experience truly unforgettable.
