I’m a passionate chef with international experience across high-end restaurants and 5-star hotels. Originally from Kaliningrad, Russia, I spent 8 years in Dubai before moving to Australia, and I’ve been based in NSW for the past 7 years. Most recently, I worked as Chef de Cuisine at Crown Sydney for 3 years in a successful luxury dining venue. Today, I create elevated private chef experiences across Sydney, combining refined European techniques with modern Australian produce. I specialise in premium seafood, live-fire cooking, and high-quality meats paired with vibrant, seasonal sides, and I love exploring Latin and Japanese flavours to bring creativity, theatre, and warm hospitality to every table.

I bring international experience to your table

I learned to cook from childhood on my family farm and later alongside great chefs worldwide, where I absorbed different cuisines and modern techniques that I now tailor to your event.

I respect ingredients and elevate them with technique

My secret in the kitchen is combining flavour, technique, and creativity, while respecting every ingredient I cook with—so each dish feels refined, vibrant, and purposeful.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Australia?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 148.80 AUD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialise in?

I cook French, Chef's special, Mediterranean, Local, Fusion and Italian. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavour is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in Australia?

To book me in Australia, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering and Corporate. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
