Chef Vital Hyka
Private Chef In CorfuI have been a Chef in European cuisines for 18 years now, I cooked for well-known restaurants in Sweden, Greece, Serbia, Norway, Italy and Netherlands. Michelin restaurants are a great challenge and allow me to go beyond my limits. Knowledge for HACCAP and ISSO, Well organized and effective leadership teams.
My cuisine state of mind comes from traditional Greek style cooking to high standard cuisine, including Greek but also Northen and Eastern countries. I trained in special diets such as food allergies, diabetes, vegetarian, vegan and kosher. I am a very humble individual with a great sense of humour and very flexible in different requests. For me having new experiences is a challenge and I attach with professionality and curiosity. It would be a great pleasure for me to be a part of your family visit and have the chance to make your culinary experience unforgettable.
