I bring fine-dining technique and a warm, personal approach to every table.

Chef John

I’m a chef with 18 years in the culinary world, working in highly successful kitchens from fine dining to gastropubs. I’ve led teams with a focus on passion, strong technique, and an inspiring work ethic.

On my days off, I teach cooking classes, and I’m also a founder of the MKE chef collaboration dinner. Today, I love working with guests in a more personal way—sharing kitchen “secrets,” from core cooking techniques and meal planning to events and party food.

Let’s plan your event

Chef John
Cooking is one of the most important needs in human life—what we eat matters, and I want to be mindful about what I put into my body.

What you can expect when you cook and dine with me

I cook with purpose and intention

Cooking is one of the most important needs in human life, and I believe we are what we eat. I stay intentional about ingredients and technique so every dish feels good, tastes exceptional, and respects what I’m putting into my system.

I’m shaped by great mentorship and real kitchens

Chef Sanford D’Amato is my mentor, a James Beard Award winner, and I worked with him for over five years. I’ve also cooked across a variety of bistros and gastropubs, and that range taught me how to balance refinement, comfort, and consistency.

I lead with kindness, clarity, and vision

My secret in the kitchen is simple: I stay nice, leave ego out, teach by example, keep a clear vision, and inspire the people around me. That same mindset shows up in how I host—calm, collaborative, and detail-driven.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Spain?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 98 EUR, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Italian, Chef's special, Mediterranean, Local and Tapas. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in Spain?

To book me in Spain, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering and Foodie adventure. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
