How it works:

  • Tailored planning

    It all starts with a friendly chat to get to know each other a little and I begin to understand exactly what you're looking for. If a set menu doesn’t quite fit, we can create one that’s perfect just for you. Once you've decided to go ahead, The rest is easy, I'll send you a contract and then it’s over to me.

    For little ones under 11, I take the time to get to know their tastes, ensuring everyone—big and small—has a great dining experience.

    I’m also here to cater to any dietary needs, from vegetarian or vegan to gluten-free or other preferences. And for those milestone moments like birthdays or holidays, I’d be happy to craft a menu that makes the occasion even more special.

Memorable moments shared by our clients

  • She transformed our lazy Tuscan Sunday into the most beautiful dining experience

    Hiring Chef Celine was the best decision me and my family made. She transformed our lazy Tuscan Sunday into the most beautiful dining experience we could have ever imagined.

    From our first contact and her finding plenty of time to help me choose the dishes that would suit my family of eight, some of which being diabetic, some 2-year old children, I just felt an amazing connection and knew then and there that the choice was right. Chef Celine pampered us with tasty food, every dish was beautifully presented, you can just feel the love she pours in the preparation of her meals. When you add the exceptional personality and friendly touch into the mix I just felt as if I was reconnecting with an old friend from the moment she arrived into our kitchen.

    If you are searching for good food and a beautiful chef – trust me you found it!

  • Celine is so easy to work with and accommodating for any food allergies.

    We hired Chef Celine to cook a birthday meal for my mom at a villa in Lucca and what an amazing experience! Celine is so easy to work with and accommodating for any food allergies. We had such a great time and made so many memories. If you are in need of a chef she should be your choice! Thank you Celine!!

  • We will talk about this dinner forever and the memories that were created.

    I wish I had the option to give more stars because 5 isn’t enough! Chef Celine and Margarita were absolutely incredible. My family and I were staying at an air BnB with very limited cooking supplies. Chef Celine eased all of my worries when I realized how limited the supplies were. She truly went above and beyond for my family and made an INCREDIBLE dinner. We will talk about this dinner forever and the memories that were created. If you’re thinking about booking Chef Celine – DO IT! You will not regret it!!

    Chef Celine was both personable and talented. Her food is wonderful and we really enjoyed her evening of food and wine. We had a four course dinner prepared by Chef Celine at our villa in Ciciana. We would highly recommend her!

  • We were over the moon with the whole experience!

    Celine is extremely personable and felt like a long lost friend immediately. She had no problem chatting with us while she cooked and gave us plenty of advice on things to do and places to go. The food was absolutely delicious, and we were over the moon with the whole experience. Highly recommend Chef Celine!
