After 20 years in prestigious houses such as Alain Ducasse, Paul Bocuse in Lyon and some seasons at the french riviera, my affection for healthy and local cuisine without artifice, pushed me to set up my own business, in order to share my culinary passion in a private atmosphere. It is with pleasure that I cook for you, taking into account your particular wishes. My style is provencal, local with only high quality products of the region, the region where I was born and that I love.

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is for me the best way to express my philosophy of life and to make discover my region.

I learned to cook at...

... at school at Hyères, later on with Paul Bocuse at Lyon, Alain Ducasse (Abbaye de la Celle). I never stop learning, cooking is neverending...

A cooking secret...

Know where to find the best products, use the best methods, the best organization and cook with passion

aucun reproche a faire! le recommanderais sans probleme. bon professionnel

Chef Benjamin prepared us a wonderful meal that made for a memorable evening! He was right on time and got to work. The food was incredible and enjoyed hearing about the ingredients and that he made a menu tailored to local Provençale tastes. Would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Benjamin was the perfect chef for our daughter’s birthday meal. The food was tasty, well cooked and well presented. He set the table, served and cleared everything away afterwards. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing evening and can highly recommend him.

Chef Benjamin created a lovely dinner for our family upon my wife’s 60th birthday. We were on vacation in Sanary-sur-Mer from the United States and working with Chef Benjamin through TakeAChef was simple and easy. Chef Benjamin created a wonderful Mediterranean menu that met the needs of everyone in our party of six. Every course was delightful, perfectly presented and very tasty. Chef Benjamin was very prompt and diligent about his communications with us prior to the meal. He also talked with the owner of the villa to get a better understanding of the location and kitchen facilities. We would highly recommend having Chef Benjamin prepare a lovely meal for you.

Benjamin was a true professional, and he made a beautiful meal.

Professional, polite. Very good menu served in a discrete, enjoyable manner.

Fantastic dinner
