"Be brave be unique"—that’s how I approach every plate. I focus on the best ingredients and fresh taste, keeping things simple while adding my own unique touch.

I’m originally from Slovenia, and my cooking background is a Balkan-Mediterranean fusion. I work as a chef and freelancer for different companies, and I’m building myself up as a private chef in Switzerland.

What you can expect when you eat my food

I cook as a lifestyle

For me, cooking is a lifestyle, and I believe eating well and enjoying food is one of the most important parts of life—so I build every menu around pleasure, balance, and great taste.

I keep learning and improving

I’m still in the process of learning, and I bring that mindset to every service—always pushing to be better than yesterday and refining my craft with every menu I cook.

I work with full transparency

I have no secrets in the kitchen—I keep things honest, clear, and focused on what matters: great ingredients, solid technique, and a result you’ll remember.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Switzerland?

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 97 CHF, 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 Local, Italian, Chef's special, Mediterranean and Seafood/Fish. 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.

How can you book my private chef services in Switzerland?

To book me in Switzerland, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering, Romantic night and Foodie adventure. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
