Looking to launch or refresh your food concept? I offer chef-led culinary consulting for restaurants, ghost kitchens, cafés, takeaways, and food startups.

Raph was fantastic. We had a lot of ideas, feedback, and directions that we dumped onto his desk at the start of the project, but he was able to create fantastic recipes that took a thoughtful approach to every requirement we gave him.

I started cooking in Oslo in 2012, moving from one kitchen to another, including Michelin-starred spots, always pushing myself to learn and evolve. Over the years, I’ve worked in Norway, Italy, and Japan, refining my style and shaping my philosophy around sustainability, bold flavors, and ingredient integrity.
Growing up in Naples, I was always close to the pizza world, working with local pizzerias and exploring how simple ingredients could be transformed into something extraordinary. In the last 3–4 years, I’ve deepened my focus on pizza topping innovation, helping pizzerias and restaurants craft unique menus that respect tradition while bringing something fresh to the table.
My cooking is casual yet contemporary, with a strong emphasis on acidity, umami, and balance. I love working with often-overlooked ingredients—the cuts of fish and vegetables that many ignore but actually carry the best flavor. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in fermentation, cured fish, biodynamic farming, and natural wine, all of which have shaped how I think about food today.
Recently, I ran the kitchen at Milky House in Hokkaido, Japan, developing a menu that blended local ingredients with my personal approach. Now, I’m based in Dublin but continue to consult for restaurants worldwide, helping chefs and businesses refine their menus and bring new ideas to the table.
I see cooking like making music—it’s all about contrast, layering, and harmony. Bold flavors, simple techniques, and ingredients that speak for themselves.
