Chef Ameera Leguex
I invest my energy in all my culinary adventures! I'm passionate about international cuisine, and as a third-generation Californian, I blend my love for West Coast staples with spices from around the world.
Chef Matteo Zamboni
I was born in Italy and immersed in fine dining in some of the world's best restaurants. I was head chef in 2-hatted Pilu in Freshwater and worked in 2-hatted Ormeggio at the Spit, 3-hatted Quay Restaurant Sydney, and 3-Michelin-star RyuGin in Tokyo.
Chef Linda Di Somma
My cooking influences blend Mediterranean and European cuisine, but my real passion is tasteful Italian cuisine: always fresh, always simple. Ideal for any family night!
Chef Alex Bogdan
With Take a Chef, I discovered that I could share my culinary experiences in a more intimate and personalized way. I simply love the excitement involved in birthday party menus.
Chef Joe Henderek
I love blending modern Mediterranean and Eastern European flavors, drawing from my classical French background. I prioritize fresh, seasonal ingredients, accentuating with herbs, artisanal elements, and local seafood. Pulling inspiration from diverse sources, I craft dishes for a unique tasting menu.
Chef Jonlin Carollissen
Understanding the cultures and meanings of each heritage is important to me, touching the essence of the produce in its true form. When I cook, I like my guests to feel part of that process and understand the meaning behind each preparation. That's the heart of a great hands-on experience.
