— private chef in Łódź

I’m a private chef from Łódź. I go wherever people gather — to homes, gardens and hired venues — and turn an ordinary evening into a dinner people talk about for a long time afterwards. I write every menu from scratch: for your guests, for the season and for whatever is best at the market right now. You invite. I take care of the rest.

Services

I cook where you celebrate

An intimate dinner for two, a birthday for thirty or a company evening with a tasting menu — I take care of everything, from the shopping to the last plate. And when it’s all over, I leave your kitchen spotless.

The chef

Mateusz Kotfasiński

I’ve been cooking professionally for years — in restaurants, hotel kitchens and at private parties. My favourite moment is when the table goes quiet for a second, because everyone has just tasted the first bite.

What my guests say

  • “A dinner we still talk about” Anna & Piotr · Łódź

    We booked a tasting dinner for our anniversary. Every course was a small surprise, and we loved hearing the story behind each one.

  • “Our guests asked for the recipes” Karolina · Zgierz

    A garden party for forty without a single hitch. The buffet was gone within the hour, and for a week people kept asking me for his number.

  • “Professional from the first email” Tomasz · Łódź

    A company tasting evening for our team. Quick replies, a clear quote and a menu adapted for vegetarians without us having to ask twice.

  • “A class for the whole family” Magda · Pabianice

    We made fresh pasta together — the kids loved it, and so did the grown-ups. The best birthday present we’ve ever given Dad.

  • “Flavour, style and peace of mind” Ewa & Marek · Aleksandrów Łódzki

    We didn’t have to think about a thing. Shopping, cooking, serving and cleaning up — all taken care of, so we could simply enjoy our guests.
