Chef Anderson S Delima
Private Chef in New Haven
Get to know me better
Classically trained across Italian, Mediterranean, Spanish, French, Latin American, and regional Mexican cuisines.
Former Executive Chef and co-owner of restaurants in TriBeCa, New York City, and the British Virgin Islands, with nearly 20 years of professional kitchen leadership. Trained and apprenticed under Mario Batali, Marcus Samuelsson, and Mark Murphy.
My cooking is rooted in classic Portuguese and regional Spanish cuisines, including Basque, Andalusian, and Catalan traditions, with extensive depth in classic Italian cooking from Campania, Lazio, Tuscany, and Emilia-Romagna. I also have strong command of classical French technique and Mediterranean cuisines, including Lebanese, Israeli, and Syrian, alongside deep experience with regional Mexican cooking and its variations.
I design and execute structured, restaurant-level private dining experiences, with extensive experience accommodating dietary requirements and writing menus for established restaurants. Five years working directly with a master sommelier shaped my approach to wine, allowing me to build thoughtful, precise pairing experiences that integrate seamlessly with the menu.

More about me
For me, cooking is...
Cooking allows me to translate centuries of culinary culture across regions and traditions, delivering focused, high-level dining experiences.
I learned to cook at...
My foundation in cooking began with my grandmother and mother, long before my professional career in restaurant kitchens.
A cooking secret...
Cooking is one of the most intimate ways to connect with people.
