Private Chef Frincu Alexandru

I’m a private chef with 11+ years of professional kitchen experience. I create fine dining and premium home dining experiences in Romania, focused on clean flavors, seasonal ingredients, precise plating and smooth service. I work with fully customized menus, allergies and dietary preferences, and I deliver consistent execution from intimate dinners to events.

For me, cooking is...

For me, cooking is about performance and consistency.

I learned to cook at...

I learned in professional kitchens, working my way up from entry level roles and training on the job.

A cooking secret...

Is simplicity done perfectly.
