Hello my name is António Paulo Duarte.

I am a Portuguese born in Paris-France, now living in Portugal, Braga region.

I have always been passionate about cooking. I saw my mother at the stove and wanted to know everything she was doing. This curiosity led me years later to take 2 certified cooking courses.

I learned a lot but curiosity and evolution always continue. In 2021 I was selected to enter the Masterchef Portugal TV show. It was a rewarding and enriching experience.

Currently I dedicate myself to making private meals.

My favorite dishes are traditional portuguese cuisine with a twist and mediterranean cuisine.

I speak Portuguese, English, French, Spanish, which allows me to deal with different cultures and people.

Give me a stove or wood fire and a castiron skillet and i´m a happy men :)

Para mim, cozinhar é...

In one of his books, writer Mia Couto wrote "Cooking is a way of loving others". This is how I identify my self as a cook!

Eu aprendi a cozinhar em...

At home with my mother, studying, taking 2 certified cooking courses.

Um segredo culinário...

It´s not a good idea to have secrets in the kitchen! But treating persons and the ingredients with love and care is the right way to go!.

Chef Antonio exceeded all possible expectations. He was so prepared, flexible, engaging, kind, fun, and professional! His table settings were beautiful and the food was beyond good. I truly can't recommend Chef Antonio enough! If you are looking for a private chef experience, he will blow you away!
