Chef Geza Gosztola
Private Chef in Seattle
Get to know me better
I look for perfection in every dish
As a Hungarian native, I graduated from Sopron Culinary Arts School in 1993 and worked on European Luxury Ships and Restaurants, i.e. the one Michelin star Jardin De Paris as an executive chef. I have been working as a private chef for 12 years for renowned celebrities and their families and I extend my services for special events and parties.
Whether you have a love for comfort food or are interested in dabbling with fine-dining International cuisines, I am well-versed in creating meals from scratch that not only satisfy the palette but are guaranteed to be healthy and organic (Farm to Table). My training was with classic Hungarian and French cuisines, but over the years have developed a specialty with varieties of European, Thai, Chinese, and Indian dishes.
I also specialize in vegan/vegetarian cuisines as well as those with dietary restrictions/limitations (i.e. diabetic, KETO, no sodium, gluten-free, Paleo, raw, California Spa), I always keep my client's needs in front of anything.

More about me
For me, cooking is...
It is my passion and goal to provide wholesome, delicious meals to my clients.
I learned to cook at...
Culinary Art School. Sopron (Hungary) 1990-1993.
A cooking secret...
Treat fully organic, non-GMO ingredients with care and enjoy cooking, and entertain my patrons.
