delicious recipes for a healty nutritional diet

As a young man I used to spend my summers in the fields of our farmhouse in Italy, in the company of my grandmother's farmers, harvesting wheat, picking fresh vegetables and olives to make our own extra virgin olive oil. The food on our table was only made with the fresh produce from our own land. These precious moments  and the education I received from my father - who was a surgeon who was highly invested in a healthy and nutritious diet -  deeply influenced my cooking style and approach to preparing my dishes.  

​I have 7 years of experience under my belt as a private chef, providing several families with weekly meal preparation services. I offer a wide array of dishes from the Mediterranean diet,  which I consider as one of the healthiest approaches to nutrition, but, I am very versatile in the various culinary styles,  and able to cater for the individual needs of my clients.

I will take care of everything from the grocery shopping  through to the meal preparation (which I can do from your home, if preferred).

things to know about the Mediterranean diet

It is a way of eating inspired by the traditional food habits in countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. The key feature of this diet is the emphasis on free and natural foods, with meals built around vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, beans and whole grains, as well as moderate amounts of protein (i.e., dairy products, eggs, fish, and meat, especially red).
The health benefits of this diet are numerous: it ranks high in annual diet rankings, and aligns with recommendations from health organisations, it can prevent heart diseases, and according to some research studies, it helps remove cholesterol from arteries.
