I craft bespoke private dining experiences in London, combining creativity, precision, and top-quality ingredients to make every gathering unforgettable.

I bring the restaurant experience to your home—tailored, polished, and personal.

I’m a private chef in London with years of experience in high-standard hospitality and corporate kitchens, now focused on intimate dining at home. I design bespoke menus that balance flavour, presentation, and consistency—so your dinner feels effortless and truly special.

I’ve led kitchens for Aramark, Accenture, Coca-Cola HQ, and PWC, which sharpened my leadership, menu planning, and ability to deliver at the highest level. I adapt to your tastes and dietary needs, and I create immersive experiences for everything from small dinners with friends to milestone celebrations.

Let’s plan your menu

Cooking is fun and full of joy for me—every moment I’m cooking, I feel passionate about what I’m doing.

I cook with joy and real passion

Cooking is fun and full of joy for me, and that energy shows in every dish—from the first prep to the final plate.

I bring trained technique and global experience

I learned to cook in Spain at a culinary institute, and I’ve built my craft over the years working as a chef in many places around the world.

I focus on atmosphere as much as flavour

My secret in the kitchen is to enjoy every moment and keep the atmosphere smooth, so your guests feel relaxed while I take care of everything.

Stories and testimonials

Chef Daniel was incredible, came early, bought the food, made sure he’s got plenty of time to prepare it and that we were eating on time, every dish was quickly prepared one after the other. We’ve had 4 courses of French cuisine and this was a birthday surprise for my boyfriend, he said he will remember this experience forever as it was personally curated for him with the dishes he loves the most. I told the chef that I couldn’t decide between two dishes and he’s managed to integrate some ingredients beautifully into the starter which I appreciated as he listened and cared about it, every dish was incredibly tasty and he was super friendly, quick, clean and professional. By the time we finished our dessert he’s already cleaned the kitchen! We loved the steak and he cooked it to our preferences. The presentation and taste were even better than restaurant level, elevated! We will use Daniel’s help in the future when we have guests around. ☺️

The food was great and he even brought extra appetisers which was really sweet and thoughtful. My place is small and he managed to make it work which is amazing. He even cooked for my friends dog even though he didn't have to. The clean up was good as well and I recommend

I was able to completely enjoy my evening without worrying about hosting, tidying up and keeping guests well fed. Daniel took care of everything and even generously added more options to the table for our starters. He also sent me suggested wine pairings based on my request. He was flexible and responsive and I would highly recommend him. Everyone was very well satisfied with the quality and quantity of his food, as well as the overall atmosphere.

I hired Daniel to cook for me and my family/friends to celebrate my 30th birthday. He arrived punctually and, prior to the event, was very quick to respond to any messages I sent on the platform (I asked to make a few changes to the menu we'd selected and he was very happy to accommodate to those requests). On the night of the event he presented us with wonderful food and was super friendly! Would highly recommend.
