Chef Imre Csendes

Chef At Home In Olhos De Água

My name is Imre Csendes.

I‘ve been working in professional kitchens for over 15 years as a chef in 3 countries, as Hungary, Denmark and Portugal in many excellent restaurants, hotels, catering units and as a private chef. In early 2023, I decided to become a freelancer and founded my catering company, Planet Based Kitchen.

For me, cooking is...

Eating a tasty food creates a memory for a whole life and it is one of my ambitions to bring to your table..

I learned to cook at...

I have learned to cook in one of the best Culinary school in Hungary and after that I've worked in 3 countries in amazing restaurants. Still learning.

A cooking secret...

Don't really have secrets, I love to share my knowledge and learn new thing every time I am in the kitchen.. Just ask me about my secrets personally..
