I am a French trained chef at Paul Bocuse Institute, Lyon, having graduated an intense culinary program in 2018.

Cooked for groups and private events.

Trainer at faincooking.ro, Brasov, dedicated to improving amateur cooking.

Will gladly cook using seasonal and special ingredients recipes from French, Romanian, Balkan, Oriental, Mediteranean, Uk and USA cuisines.

Get in touch and let’s do the menu!

For me, cooking is...

A form of mediation and socialising through culture and food sharing. Maybe the best way to celebrate and enjoy life in it’s purest restauration.

I learned to cook at...

Paul Bocuse Institute, Lyon

A cooking secret...

I use only the best hand-picked ingredients, sourced directly and freshly from the producer.

Attentive. Kind. He was engaging and an addition to the evening without being intrusive or overbearing. Clearly passionate about his job and ingredients. Multiple optional extras according to your wishes. Spent 3 hours cooking us a delicious duck dish. Impressive portion sizes…you will not go hungry.
