Italian home chef · Den Haag

Real Italian cooking, in your own kitchen.

I do the shopping, bring the groceries to your home and cook a proper Italian meal for you and your guests. You set the table, I take care of the rest, washing up included.

How it works

  1. 1

    We plan the menu

    Tell me the date, how many people and what you like. We agree on a menu together, with any allergies or diets in mind.

  2. 2

    I do the shopping

    On the day I buy fresh ingredients at the market and at Italian delis in The Hague, and bring everything to your door.

  3. 3

    I cook, you enjoy

    I cook in your kitchen, serve course by course and leave the kitchen clean. You just sit at the table with your guests.

Ciao, I'm Gerardo

I grew up in Italy, in a family where Sunday lunch lasted all afternoon and everyone had an opinion about the sauce. Today I live in The Hague, and I missed that feeling of a long table full of good food.

So I started cooking in other people's homes: friends first, then friends of friends. Simple, honest Italian dishes, made with good ingredients and the recipes I learned at home.

I cook in The Hague and nearby (Scheveningen, Rijswijk, Voorburg, Leidschendam, Delft and Wassenaar). Further away? Just ask.

Good to know

How many people can you cook for?

From a dinner for two up to about 12 guests, depending on your kitchen.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the menu and the number of guests. Groceries are charged at cost, plus a fee for my time. Send me a message and I'll give you a clear price before we confirm.

What do I need to have at home?

A normal kitchen with a hob and an oven is enough. I bring my own knives and any special tools.

Allergies, vegetarian, vegan?

No problem. Tell me when we plan the menu and I'll adapt the dishes.

How far ahead should I book?

Ideally one or two weeks ahead. Weekends fill up first, so ask early.
