Chef Geza Gosztola

Private Chef in Camano

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 professional private chef 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 to dabble 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. KETO, no sodium, gluten-free, Paleo, raw, California Spa), I always keep my client's needs in front of anything.

I work as a private chef at my clients' residences and do my best to create pleasant and unforgettable events for them.

For me, cooking is...

It is my passion and goal to provide wholesome, delicious meals to my clients

I learned to cook at...

I was fortunate to learn culinary practices in Hotel Hansag in Hungary

A cooking secret...

Treat fully organic, non-GMO ingredients with care and enjoy cooking, and entertain my patrons.

Chef Geza provided us with a dinner for a small group in our home. Chef Geza was very accommodating, made helpful suggestions and was willing to provide any of our asks. We had a wonderful evening and would highly recommend Chef Geza.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring a private chef for an in-home dinner, and I can't recommend this experience enough. From the moment the chef Geza arrived, his punctuality was noticeable. He respected the schedule we had set, which set a positive tone for the entire evening. Not only was the chef on time, but he was also remarkably friendly and personable. His warm demeanor made our guests feel comfortable and excited about the meal to come. It felt as if an old friend was cooking in our kitchen rather than a stranger. The food was amazing and I loved the menu choices chef Geza had prepared. Making the while experience easy to navigate through.

A great experience for our annual Christmas party. We had kids and adults and Chef Gaza was very open to accommodating a simpler menu for the kids to enjoy. The guests were wowed and Chef presented the menu which was a fun presentation and spoke to my guests about his journey around the world. chef Gaza had an assistant, David, who was very kind and gracious. The only issue was that there were some comments about our induction range not being the preference of Chef Gaza but that information was provided well ahead of time so I would have appreciated more adaptability and less blaming the appliances for the timing and errors.

Chef Geza was great! He made so much amazing food! We had a large group of 20 girls with multiple allergies and dietary preferences. He was great at communicating with me beforehand regarding how to best serve and choose the menus. He was able to be flexible and make separate plates for people unable to eat from the primary menu. He cooked and cleaned for our large group all on his own! I would definitely recommend take a chef!

We truly had a wonderful experience and an amazing dinner! Chef prepared a beautiful and delicious dinner and lasting memories for our whole family! Thank you again ~ Marielle Stralen

I set up Chef Geza for my parents to celebrate Mothers/Father’s Day. I did this all from across the country. It couldn’t have been smoother and Chef was very proactive in getting the information he needed. Chef put together an excellent menu, delivered what I heard was excellent food, and he was very friendly/talkative (which my parents wanted) through sharing his life story and about the dishes. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

Chef Geza Gosztola provided an exceptional experience. He was adaptive, interesting, attentive, and thoroughly professional. He gave us a memory our family will have forever.
