I am a self-taught chef with over two years of experience in private dining, recognized for my expertise in classic French and Italian cuisine. My culinary philosophy centers on blending imported and locally sourced ingredients with carefully selected spices, using modern techniques to elevate traditional dishes. Driven by a passion for enhancing natural flavors, I am committed to working exclusively with the freshest, highest-quality ingredients to ensure authenticity and depth in every creation. With an unwavering dedication to culinary excellence, I strive to transform every meal into a truly unforgettable experience.

I believe in the power of food to create a profound emotional connection, where the perfect combination of ingredients and technique can transform a simple meal into a memorable experience. This instant reward, the satisfaction of seeing a dish come together harmoniously and watching guests delight in it fuels my passion and drives my relentless pursuit of perfection in the kitchen.

My love for cooking drives me to constantly refine my skills, explore new techniques, and push the boundaries of creativity in the kitchen.

For me, cooking is...

more than a skill—it's an art form that delivers instant gratification when executed with care and precision.

I learned to cook at...

home, teaching myself through practice and dedication. I’ve had the privilege of receiving valuable tips and guidance from a Michelin-starred Chef.

A cooking secret...

is that I make everything from scratch. It’s the dedication to these foundational steps that truly brings out the depth and richness in every dish.

Chef Lionel was exceptional. He was flexible from his initial proposal to give us exactly what we wanted. He was very punctual both on his initial inspection of our kitchen and also on arrival for the dinner. He and his team were quiet and efficient in the kitchen and cleaned up to a very high standard. The food absolutely did not disappoint. It was inventive , well presented and delicious. Our guests were as satisfied with the experience as we were and we throughly recommend Chef Lionel.
