Private chef in Tuscany

Restaurant-quality dining in your villa

A private chef for villas, castles and wine estates across Tuscany, from Chianti and Val d’Orcia to the coast. Long lunches under the pergola, tasting dinners and weddings in the vineyards.

Tuscany is a cook’s dream: new-season olive oil, Chianina beef, pecorino from Pienza, wild boar, porcini and, in autumn, white truffle from San Miniato. Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile pair with the menu.

I have spent a decade in Michelin-starred kitchens, as Sous Chef of R&D in the Noma group and Head Chef at Kokkeriet, and I bring that standard to every table I cook for. My story.
