Chef Frederico Pessanha
Private Chef In LisboaGastronomy is an Art of Flavours and Colours.
Before dedicating myself to create truly pleasurable gastronomic moments, I worked professionally as a Director, Actor, Writer and as a Teacher.
I love the history of food and work with Portuguese typical food recipes and there unique ingredients, so I can share and give the opportunity to try how rich Portuguese food is.
My travel through Food Pleasures started with years of experience in catering services. I also collaborated with some reputed cuisines in Lisbon. From Chiado to Lx Factory I always kept as a mission: Prepare Unforgettable Flavours.
Nowadays I’m Head Chef of Delicatessen as a Private and Personal Chef in Portugal and I fill my free time researching and creating Delicious Tastes
More about me
For me, cooking is...
That moment of silence in which guests savour the dish that I have just served
I learned to cook at...
Mother, grandmother, by my own, other Chefs, professional training. Everyday searching and trying new Foods and Tastes.
A cooking secret...
99.9lbs of imagination. 500.33oz creative flavouring. 15 cups of work. 3 cups of sleepless nights. A pinch of experiences. 2 tbsp of heavy laughter.
