I’m a Swedish chef with 14 years of experience, educated at Stockholm’s Hotel and Restaurant School. My passion for food has taken me through kitchens in Sweden, Greece, and beyond—always driven by curiosity and craft.

In my cooking, I blend Swedish, Greek, Italian, and Asian influences to create fresh, seasonal dishes with my own personal touch. Whether I’m cooking a private dinner, an event, or a villa experience, I focus on quality, presentation, and making every meal truly memorable.

My secrets in the kitchen are a balance of technique, creativity, and intuition—I focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients and bold flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Sweden?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 92.50 EUR, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Mediterranean, Local, Chef's special, Seafood/Fish and Japanese. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
