My name is Erika, and I would like to express my interest in the position of Private Chef
within your household. I bring a unique combination of culinary expertise, formal training in
nutrition and extensive experience working for VIP and Royal families.
Before becoming a private chef, I worked as a nutritionist, a background that has given me
a solid understanding of healthy eating, dietary requirements, and food intolerances. This
allows me to design personalized, balanced, and wholesome menus without compromising
on flavor, presentation, or creativity.
For several years, I lived and worked in the United Arab Emirates, serving as a private chef
for various VIP households, including members of the royal family, the Sheikh Hamdan of
Abu Dhabi. This experience has shaped my professional discipline, reinforcing the
importance of discretion, elegance, efficiency, and confidentiality—core values in high-
profile environments.
My culinary style is deeply influenced by my international background. Having traveled and
lived in different parts of the world, especially in Southeast Asia, I have mastered Chinese,
Thai, and Japanese cuisine (but I'm not at the level of sushi chefs), incorporating authentic
techniques and flavors. My years in the UAE also allowed me to specialize in Lebanese
cuisine, highly appreciated by local families.
At the same time, being Italian, I bring with me a solid foundation in traditional and classic
cuisine, which is an integral part of my identity. I am therefore obviously able to prepare
classic dishes without restrictions. However, I would like to emphasise that, despite my
extensive experience, I recognise that no chef can know every single recipe that exists:
what sets me apart is my ability to learn quickly, adapt, develop new recipes independently
and accurately, always ensuring professionalism. I am, of course, in possession of an HACCP certificate, without which it is forbidden to cook.
I am a very polite, reserved and empathetic person.
In my free time, I love playing sports because it helps me channel stress and live better.

I would be delighted to discuss this opportunity and put my experience at your service.
Thank you for your attention.
