The Journey

From Restaurant Kitchens to Your Home

Then came 2020. Like many in the hospitality industry, I was deeply affected by the challenges of COVID-19. But that moment of pause gave birth to a new vision: MichelONE at Home — a way to bring the restaurant experience and the care of a personal chef in Sydney directly to people's homes.

Around the same time, I crossed paths with Marcello Farioli, chef and owner of the renowned I Maccheroni. He entrusted me with running his kitchen and supported me in launching my new chapter as a private and personal chef, offering tailored dining experiences that connect people through food.
