I’m a passionate and approachable personal chef with a deep love for seasonal, nourishing meals that bring comfort and joy to the table. With a background in plant-based and Mediterranean-inspired cooking, I enjoy creating vibrant dishes that are both healthy and satisfying. I’m originally from southern Italy and now based in London, where I bring a blend of heritage, creativity, and attention to detail into every dish. Whether it’s weeknight meals, special occasions, or tailored dietary needs, I work closely with clients to make food personal, enjoyable, and stress-free. When I’m not cooking, I enjoy exploring farmers’ markets, studying herbalism, and spending time in nature. I also have a soft spot for quiet rituals—brewing tea, journaling, and keeping things grounded in the everyday. Calm, respectful, and tidy in the kitchen, I thrive in peaceful households and love helping people reconnect with food that feels good. I trained in culinary school back in Italy and worked in restaurants for several years, gaining hands-on experience in professional kitchens. While I eventually transitioned into retail to step away from the fast-paced and often high-stress restaurant environment, my love for cooking never faded. Now, I’m pursuing a more personal and fulfilling path as a private chef. I find joy in preparing homemade focaccia, pizza, and flavourful vegetarian dishes always with an eye on seasonality and balance. Cooking for others is one of the ways I express care and creativity, and I’m excited to bring that energy into people’s homes.
