About me
I have always been in a close relationship with food and I noticed very early on that food has the power to create eternal memories using all our senses. I knew where I wanted to be, and I have officially gained my first experience in the kitchen as a sixteen-year old. During the following years, as a professional chef, I worked on many famous restaurants and projects in Zagreb. In the middle of 2015, I started my adventure outside of Croatia, exploring the world, cultures, I enriched my knowledge which eventually led me to work in one of the famous Michelin restaurants in Ireland. In early 2019, I went to a new island, Iceland, and was introduced to the Nordic bistro cuisine. Like most, during the pandemic, I faced a number of obstacles and began to reconsider my next step but travelling through Europe has created a desire for a new project. Working on exclusive yachts. After almost a total of two decades of experience in the kitchen, I turn to what combines my love, dedication, passion for food and style details into one, to share my extensive knowledge as a professional chef, food stylist and consultant.
