...Do what you love more and you won't work a single day in your life time...
I have been in the tourism/hotel sector for more than 15 years, I've worked for several years with the Four Seasons, within Doha, Dubai and London, in recent years I have been to the Villa Sant'Andrea by Belmond in Taormina,
always in these last winters I’ve been in the Kulm Hotel, St. Moritz in Switzerland.
I am proposing myself as a Private Chef in Sicily.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
My passion and my hobby
I learned to cook at...
A very young age in my grand parent's kitchen, from there I wanted to discover more and more about pure ingredients and innovation!
A cooking secret...
Is treating the ingredients with respect!
