Chef Gaia Zec
Chef At Home In Umag
Get to know me better
I love to combine traditional food and recipes with modern techniques and make beautiful and tasty dishes!
I have had a love for cooking since I was a child, and I started my journey in the culinary world at a very young age.
I participated in the TV show Masterchef Croatia 2023 and reached the top 7 contestants.
I currently run the kitchen at the Istrian restaurant Ponte Porton in Grožnjan. At the same time, I am studying management in gastronomy and am in my third year of college.
I would describe my kitchen and dishes as a fusion of traditional and modern. I love combining different cuisines and experimenting with new ingredients and flavors.
I enjoy adapting dishes for guests according to their wishes, whether it's sharing style or courses, traditional or modern, Croatian cuisine or perhaps international; I love to adjust so that guests are satisfied and full!
