· about · the story behind cerachef

it started as a joke.

Every time I arrived at a friend's dinner with my bags full of ingredients, someone would say: "look, the chef is here." That stuck.

from a friend's kitchen to your home.

My name is Manuel. I'm Italian, I've lived in Barcelona for a year, and I'm 40 years old. I've always cooked — not as a professional, but as someone who believes that a good meal is one of the most sincere forms of hospitality.

In Barcelona I discovered a world of extraordinary chefs who work outside restaurants — talented people who chose freedom over a fixed kitchen. And I discovered that many people dream of a private dinner at home but don't know where to start.

Cerachef was born from that: connecting the right people. I read every brief personally, I choose every chef personally. There's no algorithm. Just me, my judgment, and a genuine passion for a well-set table.

"Good food is not a luxury. It's a way of saying: tonight, you matter."
