My cooking draws on experience at leading culinary schools in France, Switzerland and Germany, an opportunity opened by winning MasterChef: The Professionals. I have made that knowledge my own through contemporary European cooking with a personal character.

Today, I cook for private dinners and events in Cyprus, and share my experience and approach to cooking through classes.

A private chef in Cyprus: dinner at home,
a private event or a cooking class.

Cooking classesExplore flavour through practice.

We cook together: I demonstrate techniques, explain how they affect a dish and help you understand the process. Then we taste what we have made around one table.

Plan your gathering

It starts with a conversation

Getting to know you

Tell me about the occasion. We will discuss your favourite dishes and menu preferences.

Come with a clear idea, or start with just one preference.

02 · Creating your menu

Cyprus · Ingredients for your menu

Duck breasts, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, shallots and herbs before cooking

It starts with the ingredients

Choosing ingredients is as important to my work as cooking. The freshness and quality of meat, fish and seafood shape the flavour long before I begin to cook.

Meat: I go to the village of Lofou for lamb, choosing the meat for the dish I have in mind.
Fish and seafood: I go to the fishing village of Zygi for fish and seafood, choosing for freshness and quality.
Fruit and vegetables: I visit farmers for seasonal fruit and vegetables, and a strawberry farm for ripe strawberries.

I take care of preparation

I shop for ingredients and get to work in your kitchen, preparing the food, sauces and marinades. Anything that needs more time is prepared in advance.

06 · The evening is yours
