Over 15 years experience as a Private/Personal Chef, focusing on healthy organic recipes in French, Asian, Mediterranean and American cuisines.

For me, cooking is...

Food is life and life is good! No nonsense, just real food cooked with discipline and respect. Presentation is a plus, creativity will follow.

I learned to cook at...

The hard way, in a middle of nowhere in a family restaurant with a great amount of parties, wedding and private dinners. I was 16.

A role model in the kitchen is...

Joel Robuchon, perfection doesn't exist but he was pretty close.

A cooking secret...

Regularity in my work, never average, same quality of work every single day.

Chef Stephan was excellent in all respects. The food was wonderful, and he made the whole experience fun. We would definitely seek him out again ourselves and recommend him to others without reservation.

Stephan was fantastic; a true professional. The food was delicious, well presented, and he accommodated every request. We will use Stephan again and I highly recommend him.

Chef Stephan was unbelievable and we will definitely be working with him again. The food was incredible and he was a pleasure. What a fun evening!!

Chef Stephan was incredible! He was punctual, professional and extremely pleasant to interact with. He worked with us to create a custom menu well in advance and accommodated all of our dietary restrictions with no issues. The power at our rental house went out during his preparation time and he was quick to think on his feet and ended up cooking out of the meal on our propane grill. Absolutely would recommend Stephan to anyone looking for a special experience!
