Porto in tavola la cucina pugliese con tecnica, stagionalità e un tocco contemporaneo.

We had an incredible dinner with Chef Demaride - she was so amazing and the food delicious. Highly recommended!

First off, Demaride is an incredibly kind and hard-working individual who is a joy to be around – this made our experience all the more enjoyable! The food was out of this world – authentic, high-quality ingredients, beautifully presented, and of course absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for an exceptional and authentic cuisine experience in Puglia.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Demaride as our family’s private chef for a week during our holiday in Puglia, and she exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, Demaride took us on a true culinary journey through the region, introducing us to the flavours, traditions and ingredients that make Puglian cuisine so special. Every meal was beautifully prepared, incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. It wasn’t just fantastic food, it was an experience. One member of our family has coeliac disease, so following a gluten-free diet is a medical necessity rather than a lifestyle choice. Demaride understood this immediately and approached every dish with genuine care, knowledge and passion. The gluten-free meals were never an afterthought or compromise. They were crafted with the same creativity, authenticity and attention to detail as every other dish, allowing everyone around the table to enjoy the same wonderful dining experience together. Beyond her exceptional cooking, Demaride’s personality made the week even more memorable. She is warm, kind, thoughtful, professional and incredibly hardworking. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she consistently went above and beyond to ensure every meal was perfect. We genuinely could not speak more highly of Demaride or recommend her more enthusiastically. She was a huge part of what made our family holiday so special, and we hope to have the opportunity to enjoy her cooking again in the future.

Chef Demaride was amazing! She delivered an amazing dinner. It was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend.

WOW! Demaride is an incredibly skilled and talented chef. It was an absolute honour to have her cook for my husband and me at our intimate 8 person wedding. She was the perfect chef for such a special celebration. She truly went above and beyond. She even picked nearby flowers and olive branches to beautifully set the table, which made everything feel so thoughtful and special. Then came the food, and every single one of us agreed it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. The flavours, the presentation, and the obvious passion she puts into her cooking made the whole experience unforgettable. If you’re thinking about booking Demaride, do it. You won’t regret it.

Demaride was fantastic from the minute she arrived until the end of the evening. Very positive that she speaks and understands English very well. The contact prior to the event was punctual and informative, and the menu was very extensive so we had difficulties selecting the dishes - and all we selected were very tasteful. My entire family and myself loved the dinner which Demaride made so fantastic. We can strongly recommend this experience. Lise

Our birthday party dinner by Demaride was awesome. She prepared a great extended menu, as we agreed beforehand with the dishes being very fresh, really tasty and presented in a beautiful way. She made our dinner flawless and we had a great time being served by her. Would recommend her 100%. Thank you so much!

We had the pleasure of having Demaride as our private chef during our family holiday in Puglia, and she created one of the highlights of our trip! After a long day of travelling and delayed flights, it was such a treat to completely switch off and enjoy a wonderful evening together as a family. Demaride has such a warm, friendly presence and immediately made everyone feel relaxed and welcome. The food was outstanding. Everything was fresh, delicious and thoughtfully prepared. I especially loved the deep fried pasta with dips and the wine pairings she recommended. The fish dish was another standout, simple, fresh and full of flavour. You could really taste the quality of the local ingredients. She was incredibly accommodating, setting food aside for family members who arrived late and even preparing a special bolognese for my young nephew. More than just a fantastic chef, Demaride helped turn a stressful travel day into a special family memory. It was one of the few evenings where everyone could simply sit back, relax and enjoy each other's company, and that was such a gift. I would book her again in a heartbeat and have already recommended her to others. If you're visiting Puglia and looking for an authentic, memorable dining experience, I couldn't recommend Demaride more highly!

We had a wonderful time, Demaride was well prepared, and the food was fantastic. We'd love to come again.

Chef Demaride was absolutely amazing. Her attention to detail, presentation and food were all 10/10. We had a wonderful evening and would absolutely recommend hiring Demaride for your Italy experience. I wish I could post a picture of some of the dishes. Perfection.
