Personal Chef In Chania

I enjoy providing only the best to my guests.

I like cooking for family and friends, I enjoy and I am passionate, I do it in the same way for my guests in any type of event. I work in restaurants and as a Personal Chef in Creta, since 2007 I live in Chania, where I have been working as a private Chef since 2014 .Prior to 2007 I worked since 2003 in restaurants in Athens.

I am very knowledgeable about the island and for its traditional dishes , I like to buy high quality food my select suppliers.

For me, cooking is...

A symphony of Aromas, Colors and Flavors you need to understand and know how to combine. My Passion leads me to my dishes.

I learned to cook at...

On a professional level taught at a private school in Athens and next to experts and chefs who were my mentors during my career.

A cooking secret...

Positive energy and respect for food.
