I’m Dimitris, a private chef based in Chania, Crete. My cooking brings together the island’s generous flavours, fresh local ingredients and a modern Mediterranean touch. I love creating relaxed, generous meals for villa dinners and celebrations, as well as polished plated menus for special occasions. Every menu is shaped around the guests, the season and the feeling of the event.

My experience in professional kitchens, hotels and private events has taught me that a memorable meal is about more than what’s on the plate: it’s also about warmth, care and making people feel at home. Appearing on MasterChef Greece was an exciting chapter in my journey.

One dish that captures my style is slow-cooked lamb kleftiko with fragrant herbs and potatoes—comforting, full of Cretan character and made to be shared.
