Deb your Personal Chef

About Me

I’m Deb, a Personal Chef. My passion for cooking stems from a deep respect for raw ingredients and the authentic flavors of tradition—those clear, sincere tastes that warm the heart.

However, I love to explore, experiment, and amaze, curiously seeking out unexpected combinations that will delight the palate and bring a smile to your face.

I create dishes for every need: authentic meat and fresh fish, garden vegetables, and a wide variety of fresh pastas with exquisite sauces.

I am an expert in gluten-free and lactose-free preparations.

If you’re looking for a gastronomic experience that’s both familiar and surprising, one that celebrates the essence of food with a touch of refined imagination, contact me, and I’ll be happy to come to your villa to prepare whatever you desire.

What People are Saying

“A Great Experience”

“A delicious dinner featuring Apulian specialties: gratinated stuffed mussels, tender octopus, fresh seafood salad, exceptional burrata… and finally, the inevitable sporcamuss!
Relaxed atmosphere, authentic food, and great attention to detail.
An experience we wholeheartedly recommend!”

John, 07 July 2025 “Le ali bianche” Ostuni

“We couldn’t ask for more!”

“Having notified the chef just 12 hours in advance, she prepared excellent vegetable appetizers, traditional cheeses, and homemade focaccia. We then ate homemade orecchiette with eggplant sauce and cacioricotta, and a potato, rice, and mussel tiella. As a vegetarian, I enjoyed a trio of stuffed vegetables. And to finish, the melon ice cream…delicious!”
