Editorial

Chef Nico prepared a spectacular tasting menu at our home. What a treat to have a chef in our kitchen who has graced some of the best restaurants in Washington! EVERY course was creative, beautiful—and delicious! My husband, an accomplished home cook, is usually very critical of restaurant food. He had only RAVE reviews for this professional-quality meal. In addition to his talent, Chef Nico is just a treat to be around. Easy-going, enthusiastic and fun. We have already hired him for an important family event and we look forward to many more.

I've had the pleasure of enjoying meals by Chef Nico at least half a dozen times since 2018. His range of delicious dishes is endless, but what’s even more impressive is watching him cook. Chef Nico’s passion is unmatched—just watching him gently prepare shrimp with olive oil is an experience. His presentation is as irresistible as the flavors. Chef Nico is the ultimate culinary professional, and I can't wait for the next time he's our personal chef!
