Chef Michela Saragoni

Private Chef In Palma

I was a Landscape Architect, teaching at the University of Florence, when in 2008 following a sudden and unexpected occasion, I left my career to follow my life long passions: sailing and cooking. In 10 years on yachts I have sailed more than 80000 sea miles around the world, visiting some of the most remote and spectacular places in the world, and accommodating the most diverse guest and crew.

Since 2018 I quit yachting and I am based in Palma de Mallorca, but available for work worldwide.

On yachts I have developed a wide repertoire and a very flexible attitude, alongside a keen attitude towards high quality standards

My cuisine has a strong Italian base, but after working all over the world and with all types of clients and crew I have added recipes from all over the world to my repertoire and can now offer a very varied range that includes the main dietary restrictions (gluten free, lactose-free, vegetarian and much more).

For me, cooking is...

The alchemy that through good flavors creates good moments and sensations.

I learned to cook at...

At home, with my mother, my father and my grandmothers.....An then, when I decided to make a profession of it, I did my prefessional courses.

A cooking secret...

organization and a smile

The dinner was fine, perfect tiramisu.

Amazing! Delicious and personalized. This made for a great birthday dinner and a great first night after a stressful travel day. Book her, now!

We had a perfect evening

Michela was great, communicative but not overly so. Food was delicious and she helped us with ideas. She was friendly and cleaned up well after. Would definitely recommend!

Michela was absolutely wonderful! She was so communicative in advance and incredibly generous with her time and storytelling. She was wonderful in our small Airbnb kitchen, taught us about local cooking, and gave us great local recommendations. I couldn't recommend her more!

Fantastic night, the food was amazing, we learnt so much. Would highly recommend.

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Abend und Michela war sehr freundlich und hat ein ausgezeichnetes Menü zubereitet. Sie hat extra einen Tiramisu Kuchen gemacht, weil mein Mann Geburtstag hatte und er war köstlich. Ich kann dieses Erlebnis jedem empfehlen.
