welcome to my journEy

My main objective is to achieve as much experience as possible regarding the art of cooking.

Ioannis Venieris, Executive Chef

I am an Ionian Islander grown up in Corfu island, and I bring with me the distinct cuisine of the Ionian islands, and particularly Corfu, that has influences from the Italian cuisine and culinary traditions from all over the Mediterranean basin. I was only 7 when I cooked for the first time and then presented my recipe at school, urged by my teacher. Since that moment I knew that gastronomy was a cacharole full of magic!

After culinary school in the Organization of Tourism Education and Training in Corfu, I spent eight years in the restaurant business, working next to prize awarded chefs who were mentors for me. Following that period, I decided to opt for private chef services. This has allowed me to continue growing as a chef, while taking care of my guests in a fully personalized way. I have also worked numerous events, parties, weddings and VIP dinners.

EXECUTIVE CERTIFIED CHEF

The art of gastronomy...

Cooking has me hooked on art, beauty and creativity. As an expression of creativity I prepare personalised dining experience that is tailor-made to your tastes. I am passionate about creating new dishes that exist in the moment, just for you. I ultimately believe that humility is everything. I always reflect and become better every time I cook…

At the helm to tailor meals to the guests distinct preferences...
