Inspired by her travels to France and Italy, Valentina has a love for the flavors of the Mediterranean, which is clearly reflected in her recipes and food preparation. The Mediterranean diet is known for being heart-healthy, rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, seafood, nuts, legumes, and olive oil.

 

Famous Spanish dishes such as Paella, and French dishes such as Ratatouille and Bouillabaisse a la Marseillaise, are examples of dishes that set Valentina Private Chef apart. Well known for her shrimp and grits, and bread pudding with rum sauce, New Orleans cajun cooking is one favorite of Valentina's.

Valentina also has a love for preparing food of many cuisines, from traditional American to downright fancy French and Italian.
