Culinary Arts Diploma, Certified Master Chef / Certified Chef de Cuisine

I am a dynamic, fun, loving, and caring 30-year-old female. I am reserved but can also be the life of the party. I am dedicated to my tasks, detailed, and accomplishment-driven. I take satisfaction in a job well done. I grew up with an Italian father in France, an Estonian grandmother, and a Canadian-born mother who all cooked while I was growing up, and I learned a lot from them. As I started my adult journey, cooking never came hard, and as I became a nanny, I kept reinforcing those skills. I cook on a daily basis for my partner and me and constantly love looking for new recipes. I am proactive and adapt to your lifestyle. During my time as a nanny, I have always meal prepped and cooked. It came naturally; my employers always encouraged me seeing that I adored it and the results were well-received. With a background that includes French, Italian, Estonian, and Canadian heritage, I incorporate these influences into my cooking. I use simple ingredients that still yield delicious and satisfying results. I am adaptable and eager to hear about your preferences and needs. I cook dishes that I have made many times but also love to experiment! I also take care to clean up after myself, respect my work environment, and work well with others. I am punctual, detail-oriented, and attentive to directions. I handle tasks such as vacuuming, cleaning specific areas, mopping, dusting, organizing (closets, shelves, etc.), doing laundry, ironing, and washing dishes.

What I can offer you: ✅️ Fresh pasta made from scratch. ✅️ Traditional, hearty Italian dishes like soups, meats, and fish. ✅️ Creative, gourmet meals tailored to your preferences. ✅️ Healthy and flavorful options inspired by Sardinian traditions. If you’re looking for someone who can bring authentic, mouthwatering dishes to your table, whether for a special occasion or everyday meals, I’d love to help. Let’s make your meals unforgettable! My name is Stefano, and I’m a professional chef with over 11 years of experience. I was born and raised in Italy, where my love for cooking started early, inspired by the hours I spent in the kitchen watching my mom and grandma create incredible dishes. That fascination grew into a passion, leading me to earn my culinary school diploma in Italy. Since then, I’ve worked in various restaurants, many of them Italian, where I mastered the art of traditional cuisine. I specialize in the flavors of Sardinia, known for its Blue Zone—where people enjoy some of the longest and healthiest lives in the world. I’m passionate about creating healthy, delicious meals that nourish both body and soul. Beyond Italian cuisine, I’ve had the privilege of expanding my skills. I completed a short internship at a Japanese restaurant in London, learning to prepare robata dishes and even some sushi. Since 2016, I’ve been in Toronto, where I’ve worked in Italian and Jamaican restaurants, blending diverse culinary techniques and flavors.
