Family-Style Feasts
Generous platters, seasonal sides, and vibrant salads.
Home dining that brings everyone to the table.
Family-Style Dining, Made Easy
As a family private chef in Lisbon, I design relaxed, generous menus meant for sharing. Think colorful salads, roasted vegetables, lentil-stuffed peppers, slow-cooked beans, golden rice, and grilled fish or seafood when in season. Every feast is built around your guests, your kitchen, and the moment you’re celebrating. I cook with a farm-to-table mindset, sourcing fresh produce from Lisbon markets and regional farms, so the food feels honest, abundant, and flavorful. Whether you’re hosting a birthday, a weekend gathering, or welcoming friends to a villa in Cascais or Sintra, the experience is warm, personal, and completely stress-free.
