Who wants to spend their holiday shopping, cooking, and washing dishes for 10-20 family members instead of sitting by the pool or discovering the beautiful Rhodes? I’d be delighted to take care of the food shopping, cooking, and cleaning up the dishes afterwards, so you can also truly sit back and relax!
I’m available for:
- Small and large groups (4-20 people)
- Breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner, and/or BBQ (with special meals for children)
- One week or two – depends on your schedule
- Casual, family’ gatherings as well as more exclusive experience
- Dietary preferences and food allergies will be taken in account (no cross-contamination), e.g. gluten-, egg-, sugar-, nut-, and shellfish-free meals, vegan or vegetarian meals and so on.
You don’t have to do anything for the meals, except sit down and enjoy them with your friends and family, while watching the bright blue sky and the cerulean sea!

Customer reviews:
“We hired Chef Ionel because of his experience. We will hire him again because his food is delicious and his attitude and service is outstanding.
Chef Ionel catered to us, a group of 20 family members, for a week. Originally, we planned 2 meals a day, but the Chef pampered us with snacks and cocktails, smoothies and picnic baskets, and became a beloved part of our days.
The Chef was a one man show, shopping, cooking and cleaning- total dedication to our needs and desires. We can’t wait to visit Rhodes again and enjoy more of Chef Ionel’s delicious pampering.” – Adi
“We recently had the pleasure of experiencing the exceptional culinary talents of Chef Ionel Panaite, and it was nothing short of extraordinary.
From the moment he began planning the menu, it was evident that we were in the hands of a true professional who genuinely cares about his clients. Chef Ionel went above and beyond to ensure our event was memorable. He thoughtfully took into account the celebration of both our child’s birthday and my own, surprising us with cakes and decorated tablesetting. His attention to detail in these personal touches truly made the day special.
Understanding the diverse needs of our family, Chef Ionel meticulously prepared a menu that catered to both children and adults. Each dish was a testament to his skill and creativity, appealing to every palate present. The children’s menu was fun and nutritious, while the adult offerings were sophisticated and flavorful, showcasing his versatility and dedication to quality. He was cooking fresh plates as we asked typical from the area.
What stood out the most was Chef Ionel’s impeccable organization and amazing energy. He coordinated everything to perfection, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience for us. His thoughtfulness and helpful nature shone through in every interaction, making us feel valued and understood. In summary, Chef Ionel provided us with more than just a meal; he gave us an unforgettable experience filled with care, precision, and a personal touch that elevated our celebration to new heights.
We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a chef who not only excels in culinary arts but also in creating lasting memories.” – Angel
