About Marcello
“As a chef with over 20 years of experience, I’ve worked in bustling restaurants, curated catering events, and led kitchen teams—but at heart, I’m someone who simply loves food and the joy it brings to people. I grew up experimenting in the kitchen, which taught me that cooking is as much about creativity and passion as it is about technique. Outside of the kitchen, I’m a firm believer in lifelong learning and sharing knowledge, which is why I love teaching. My lessons aren’t just about recipes—they’re about fostering confidence, encouraging curiosity, and making cooking approachable and fun. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a budding chef, I’m here to guide and inspire you on your culinary journey.”

My approach is hands-on and tailored to each student’s needs. I focus on building confidence through practical skills and understanding the “why” behind techniques. Lessons often begin with an introduction to the dish or skill, followed by step-by-step guidance as we cook together. I encourage questions and provide tips to adapt recipes, enhance flavours, and work efficiently in the kitchen. Creativity and fun are key—my goal is to make cooking approachable and enjoyable.
Each lesson typically runs for 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the dish or skill being taught. This ensures enough time for detailed instruction, practical application, and Q&A without feeling rushed.
I bring over 20 years of professional culinary experience, having worked as a chef in restaurants, catering, and events. I’ve trained kitchen teams, designed menus, and developed my own recipes, giving me the tools to teach effectively. I also have experience mentoring aspiring chefs, making me skilled at explaining complex techniques in simple, actionable ways.
My lessons are for anyone with a passion for food:
• Beginners wanting to build foundational skills
• Home cooks looking to elevate their meals
• Aspiring chefs seeking to learn professional techniques
• Adults and teens (ages 13+) at any skill level
Whether you’re just starting or want to refine your craft, I’d love to share my knowledge and help you grow.

Marcello taught my 8 year old son with a lot of patience and adapting the class to a child. It was very easy to follow his steps and my son felt happy and accomplished with his perfect dish. He now wants to be a chef!
