Chef Marcel Schacht

Private Chef In Zürich

My name is Marcel and I have more than 20 years’ experience in gastronomy and since 2011 as professional cook. I have studied in Paris at the École Ritz Escoffier where I got my Master Degree in French Haute Cuisine.

My expertise is French cuisine, contemporary cuisine and bakery. I am always focused in fresh healthy organic products and I like exploring new regional and local specialties during my travels.

Since June 2017 I have also open my own company offering services of private and personal chef around Europe for any type of events such as private dinner for anniversary, party of larger groups and cooking classes.

Cooking is always be my passion and I never get tired of it. Also after a long day of work, I like to go back home and prepare my own dinner while enjoying a glass of wine. I like attention to details and while a quality of ingredients is key presentation has also has its importance.

Based in Switzerland, but I can work all over the world.

For me, cooking is...

An experience of sharing good taste emotions and happy moments

I learned to cook at...

at home with my dad while I was still a teen-ager

A cooking secret...

Surprise my guest with combination of fresh ingredients

Marcel has just cooked for our 20-person dinner party and I can highly recommend him. He was very helpful planning the menu, reflecting our preferences and adapting where necessary for allergies. On the night, he was efficient, discreet and organised and the food was delicious, especially the sea bass cerviche. The kitchen was left immaculate. I wouldn't hesitate to book him again.

We had an absolutely fantastic dinner from Marcel Schacht. He was extremely professional and accommodating while we were organising the dinner. On the night he turned up on time, was very polite and organised. Every course was delicious, very high quality food and very well presented. I would recommend Marcel for any event or dinner you are thinking of having.

It was a good experience and since we have a young son, the chef was also attentive to him and his needs.
