I am 25 years old and have been cooking now for 5 years. I take a particular interest in cooking healthy, nutritious and delicious food. I really believe that what we eat plays a huge impact in our moods, energy, how we sleep and think it is so important to fuel our bodies properly. It is my mission to prove that eating healthily is not boring and even more delicious than the ultra processed foods out there. I firmly believe that life is all about balance. I take a lot of inspiration for the food I cook from my travels. I lived in Los Angeles where there was a big focus on fresh high quality produce and a big South American influence. My dad lives in Thailand and so I have spent a lot of time eating my way around Asia and bringing all that I have learnt back home to the kitchen with me! I particularly enjoy cooking Mediterranean cuisine too after a lot of summers spent there. I love getting to know what my clients enjoy and perfecting there favourite meals for all the family to enjoy. I have been a chef now for 5 years. I have worked in restaurants in London and Los Angeles, as well as catering companies cooking for thousands of people. However more recently in the past 3 years I have become a private chef. I much prefer a more personal approach to cooking where I learn what my clients love and enjoy the most. I have worked full time in households as well as meal prepping for families and individuals. I have found joy in creating well-balanced meals that prioritise both flavour and health. I want the food I create to not only taste good but to make you feel good and fuel your bodies for the day ahead.

My name is Luca, and I’m a chef from Naples—(officially the world’s best food city; just ask TasteAtlas!). Growing up in Naples means being surrounded by incredible flavors, the rich traditions of Italian cuisine and a deep love for food. My passion started—like most of us, learning to cook alongside my mum in the kitchen, learning the essence of true Italian cooking—simple, fresh ingredients, time-honored techniques, and a passion for bringing people together through food. Almost ten years ago, I moved to London with a dream of opening my own Italian restaurant. Since then, I’ve worked in a variety of restaurants, refining my skills, exploring new flavors, and deepening my understanding of food. Now, as I take steps toward launching my own place, I’m offering my services as a private chef—bringing authentic Italian cuisine straight to your home. If you’re looking for someone who can craft an unforgettable Italian dining experience, whether for an intimate dinner, a special occasion, or just a night of incredible food, I’d love to cook for you. Let’s add a taste of Italy to your table! With over 16 years of experience working as a chef, including 9 years in the UK, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table.

Additionally, I have collaborated with renowned chefs, including Chef John Xavier at The Tent at the End of the Universe, and worked with the Farmacy team during a week-long event at Goals House in Cannes earlier this year. My expertise spans a wide range of culinary styles and environments, with a particular passion for creating nourishing, flavourful meals that cater to specific dietary needs while maintaining a sense of comfort and creativity. My experience in catering varies, but I have been a personal chef for about 12 years now. In the last 4 years, I have been working freelance for events, cooking tuition, meal planning, dinner parties, as well as helping out at friends' restaurants when they are short-staffed.
