I modernize Mediterranean classics with seasonal ingredients and warm, genuine hospitality.

With over 15 years of culinary experience, I lead kitchens and design menus that elevate seasonal ingredients while staying true to the soul of classic dishes. I’ve worked across high-volume fine dining and intimate bistro settings, where I’ve refined everything from menu development to full kitchen management.

My specialty is Mediterranean cuisine, and I focus on creating memorable meals through technical precision, thoughtful flavors, and a guest experience that feels effortless and personal.

My secret in the kitchen isn’t a special tool or a secret ingredient—it's patience and respect.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with love and intention

For me, cooking is an act of love—it's how I show I care. It’s also my creative outlet: a way for me to express emotion and tell a story through every course.

I bring 15+ years of kitchen leadership

I learned at my grandmother’s side, in her bustling kitchen filled with the scent of simmering spices and fresh herbs from the garden. Since then, I’ve built my career across fine dining and bistro kitchens, developing menus and leading teams with discipline, calm, and consistency.

I rely on patience and respect

My philosophy is simple: I don’t chase gimmicks. I cook with patience and respect—for ingredients, for technique, and for the people I’m serving—so every dish feels honest and refined.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Greece?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 98.33 EUR, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Local, Mediterranean and Seafood/Fish. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

To book me in Greece, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette and Friends gathering. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.
