ABOUT

ABOUT ME Born in 1982 in Verona, I grew up in the golden era of Italo-pop, when Italy was booming. My country of birth gifted me a love for fine food and the Mediterranean way of life. Later, on our family farm in northern Germany, I developed a passion for top-quality, homegrown produce. Long before farm-to-fork became a trend, only the freshest ingredients made it to our table - straight from the garden, forest, or the region's rivers. Hosting celebrations on the farm taught me the art of hospitality and the joy of bringing people together.
After school in Hamburg, I took an unexpected detour - first university, then investment banking in London. A fortunate diversion, but by 30, I finally pursued my true passion: training as a chef at Hotel Bareiss in the Black Forest. This led to kitchens at Söl’ring Hof, La Pergola, Vendôme, Thomas Martin's Restaurant Jacobs, Tortue, and finally No. 4 with sauce master Jens Rittmeyer.
Nearly a decade later, I started catering for family and friends. My wife eventually brought me to Mallorca, where I’ve been a private chef since 2019. Five years on, I’ve honed my style - staying true to my philosophy, refining my craft, and letting intuition guide my cooking.

Since 2021, I’ve had the pleasure of writing a food column for the Berliner Zeitung - feel free to visit my author page. You’ll also occasionally find my culinary articles featured in Mallorca Magazin.
In 2025, I launched the blog and newsletter Mallorca Bites – Tales, Tastes & Exquisite Finds, where I share my passion for good food, cooking, and adventurous exploration. I warmly invite you to subscribe and join me on this delicious journey.
