Enjoy your time.I’ll take care of the rest.

Even on holiday, food can become another job: deciding what to eat, shopping, planning around everyone’s schedule. Enjoy the people you are with and the time you have. I’ll plan, shop, cook and organise so food becomes one less thing to think about.

My cooking

Seasonal Mediterranean cooking, rooted in quality produce and local sourcing.

Few ingredients. Carefully chosen.

I cook from the ingredient, the season and the place. I care as much about flavour as I do about origin and how food has been grown, raised or produced. The result is clear, generous cooking, adapted to the people at the table and designed to feel good as well as taste good.

01

Produce & origin

For me, quality starts before the kitchen. Organic produce is an essential part of my sourcing criteria, alongside trusted producers who work with clean, responsible and traceable practices, even when they do not carry formal certification. I look for minimal intervention and avoid unnecessary synthetic treatments wherever possible.

02

Seasonality

The season shapes what I buy and what I cook. I work with ingredients when they are at their best rather than forcing the same menu throughout the year.

03

Local sourcing

I look to nearby markets and producers when they offer the right quality, known origin and responsible production. The food changes with the place, climate and season.

04

Simplicity

Few ingredients, carefully chosen. Technique serves the ingredient: intervene only where it improves the result and leave out what the dish does not need.

Years of work with nutrition, retreats, performance-oriented menus and personalised food inform this way of cooking. The aim is not to follow a nutrition label, but to cook with judgement so the food feels balanced, enjoyable and right for the people I am cooking for.

“Joaquin and his partner did an amazing job serving 19 very picky eaters at once, and everyone loved the food. We will definitely be using their service again!”

“He gave us a fantastic evening, with a great attitude and warmth that made the night even better. The mango-vinaigrette gyozas and the wagyu burger stood out. We will definitely book again.”
