Chef Pierina Battifora

Private Chef In Nashville

I am a professional chef with 12 years of experience in the culinary world. I studied in Le Cordon Bleu Peru. I worked at hotels in Mexico and the US like The Ritz Carlton in Naples and since 2013 to 2021 I owned a baking business back in Lima, Peru and also did side jobs such as private chefs, classes, consulting and events. In 2015 I decided to study a masters in cake decorating in The international school of Sugar Art by Nicholas Lodge in Norcross Georgia. Last year in July I decided to move to the US and I was working at a Peruvian Restaurant in Florida until December that I moved to Nashville and now I’m open to venture into private chef, chef at home, showcooking, culinary advice, etc.

For me, cooking is...

A great way of bringing people together and enjoying every step of the way.

I learned to cook at...

Actually when I first started to learn how to cook was when I was 10 years old looking how my grandma and nanny did it.

A cooking secret...

Always enjoying yourself while doing it.

Wonderful experience with Pierina! She was EXCELLENT in every way!

Chef Pierina was fantastic! She has such an outgoing personality on top of making an amazing meal, and made the experience that much better.

What an incredible night with Pierina! From start to finish her service, professionalism, and quality of cooking was unbelievable. We had the most wonderful night in her company, enjoying her talents. The ravioli and tiramisu were probably the best I’ve ever had! Thank you for a night we won’t forget!

Pierina was an amazing chef for our dinner! All of the food was incredible and it was no nice to be able to spend time with friends while our meal was prepared and brought to us. She made us an Italian dinner that included 3 different homemade pastas, appetizers and dessert and it was some of the best pasta I've ever had. She was so friendly and even made special portions for some food allergies in the group. Highly recommend hiring Pierina for any group dinner needs!

For me anytime you bring a group together for a beautiful evening and you include the food and presentation of Take A Chef…the experience, conversations, and friendships are elevated. My personal experience is one I will repeat with Take A Chef.

My experience with Chef Pierina exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the exquisite table decoration and impeccable presentation of the dishes. Every detail was carefully thought out, from the appetizers to the main courses. The ravioli stuffed with butternut squash and butter sauce, the Parpadelle Ragú, and the gnocchi with lemon truffle oil sauce that enhanced their flavor, were simply extraordinary. And as a grand finale, a tiramisu that transported me straight to Italy with every bite. However, what truly made this experience unforgettable was Chef Pierina's warm hospitality and her ability to engage in interesting conversations. We felt right at home, enjoying a dinner that transcended the gastronomic to become a moment to remember. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking not only for delicious food but also a welcoming atmosphere and enriching conversations.

Last night, I had a gastronomic experience beyond all context, even considering Italian cuisine. The appetizers, to whet the appetite, were truly sublime, and they indeed sparked my curiosity to taste what was to come: ravioli filled with a variety of squash, with a sprinkling of butter and nuts cooked to perfection... truly exotic. Then, the al dente pappardelle, with a Bolognese sauce worthy of the finest palate of the ancient Roman Empire, which seems to be the origin of this exquisite pasta accompaniment. And to close this sumptuous dinner with a platinum brooch, the inevitable gnocchi, with a little-known but no less exquisite sauce of lemon-infused truffles, I highly recommend it. All this banquet had to be sealed with one of those desserts... The famous TIRAMISU, what a sublime taste we experienced, it truly was an unforgettable dinner where we indulged in the pleasure of good eating. Many thanks, Pierina.

Chef Pierina made not only my wife’s night special but my son enjoyed eating her meals too. The food was incredible and she made the night so enjoyable.
