GASTRODELICA
A private, independent gastronomic project that offers the opportunity to master professional culinary techniques both online and offline.
The project is rooted in the principles of French haute cuisine and an individual approach to every ingredient, helping you develop your culinary skills while also offering the chance to experience professionally prepared food, celebrate an important occasion or build an entire gastronomic evening.
French Cuisine
The founder and chef of GASTRODELICA is professionally trained in French cuisine, having graduated from the renowned Le Cordon Bleu culinary school in Paris and worked in French fine-dining restaurants, including Michelin-starred establishments.
For this reason, every dish at GASTRODELICA, regardless of its origin – from French classics to Italian, Greek, Asian or fusion cuisine – is created using professional French culinary techniques, the same techniques chefs from around the world travel to Paris to master.
This approach makes it possible to select the optimal technique for each ingredient, bring its flavour and texture to their full potential and present even familiar traditional dishes from a new perspective.
COME OVER TO THE DARK SIDE
Online
If you want to recreate the dishes yourself or learn professional techniques from scratch, detailed lessons and articles are available on Patreon.
Each piece of content can be purchased individually, or you can access the GASTRODELICA library through a subscription.
Organise your kitchen efficiently and equip it only with the tools you will genuinely use. Learn to handle knives, pans and other professional equipment correctly, cook from precise, thoroughly explained recipes, develop professional culinary skills and spend less time in the kitchen while working far more efficiently.
The materials cover the entire journey: from fundamental ingredient preparation and essential French techniques to complex restaurant-level dishes. You can start from scratch, learn at your own pace and access the materials whenever it suits you, from your own kitchen.
Offline
The physical home of GASTRODELICA is an entirely black culinary studio in Thessaloniki, Greece, where the project is filmed and where guests can experience authentic French cuisine.
The studio operates exclusively on a private basis: tastings and masterclasses, as well as private events, are available only through a personal connection with the founder and chef.
Coming Soon…
The kitchen is ready; the rest of the studio is still being fitted out. The experiences below will open in stages.
- Guests
- 1–4
- Duration
- 3 to 5 hours
- Setting
- The kitchen island
At GASTRODELICA, the result you want to achieve comes first, which is why each masterclass is tailored to your individual request. During a 3-hour session, you can, for example, learn how to cook the perfect steak or classic French breakfast omelettes, develop professional knife skills or master parallel cooking techniques that save time by allowing you to manage between 2 and 5 cooking processes simultaneously.
Masterclasses take place around the kitchen island and are designed for 1–4 people. You can simply observe the process or take an active part in the cooking, depending on exactly what you want to learn.
All food prepared during the session can either be enjoyed at the studio or taken home. The total cost consists of a fixed masterclass fee plus the cost of ingredients, which is calculated individually and agreed upon in advance. For more complex and time-consuming preparations, the masterclass can be extended from 3 to 5 hours for an additional fee.
- Guests
- Up to 4
- Duration
- 3 hours
- Hosted by
- Visiting guest chefs
The founder and chef of GASTRODELICA collaborates with chefs of different nationalities, which means the studio will periodically host pop-up masterclasses with guest chefs dedicated to cuisines from around the world.
During a 3-hour session, guests can discover the professional techniques of the visiting chef, observe the preparation of the dishes, take part in the process and taste the results. She will also be present during each pop-up, assisting the guest chef throughout the session.
The format is designed for a maximum of 4 guests. Pricing is set per person and varies depending on the individual guest chef.
- Duration
- Up to 3 hours
- Focus
- Ingredients and flavour combinations
French cuisine places great importance on seasonality and treating each ingredient individually, which is why GASTRODELICA tastings focus not only on finished dishes, but also on the ingredients themselves: their potential, preparation methods and flavour combinations.
A tasting may focus on ingredients you have never worked with before or have previously overlooked, such as artichokes or duck breast; rare products that are not generally available in supermarkets; wild edible mushrooms found in Greece; or local and international cheeses, which can then be incorporated into sauces for meat, poultry or fish. A tasting may also be dedicated entirely to French dishes, offering a deeper understanding of the cuisine itself.
The purpose is not simply to taste different products, but to understand the differences between them, discover how preparation affects them and explore your own perception of different flavour combinations.
- Guests
- Up to 10
- Duration
- 3 to 5 hours
- Service
- Shared or individually plated
A private dinner takes place around the dining table in a separate reception room designed for a maximum of 10 guests. The space can also be reserved for smaller groups, whether to celebrate an important occasion or simply enjoy dinner in a private circle.
An individual menu can be developed for each dinner. It can range from simple, home-style food made with familiar ingredients, prepared using professional French techniques and presented in a restaurant style, to an elaborate fine-dining menu.
Menu development and reservation are charged at a fixed rate, which also includes table service. The final price depends on the number of guests and the ingredients selected and is calculated in advance. Alcoholic beverages are not included and are discussed separately.
Service can be organised in two ways: dishes can be served sequentially for sharing at the centre of the table, or each guest can receive an individually plated restaurant-style menu, from starter through to dessert.
The standard duration of a private dinner is 3 hours, with the option to extend it to 5 hours for an additional fee.
- Guests
- Up to 30
- Duration
- 3 to 5 hours
- Extras
- Sound system, projector, temporary gallery
The reception format accommodates up to 30 guests. For the event, the studio is transformed into an open space: the large table is moved towards the windows and set with glasses for Champagne and other beverages, together with a selection of canapés and small bites that are replenished and changed throughout the evening.
Guests can choose from an established menu of bites, with the option of a paid tasting in advance, or have an individual menu developed specifically for the event. Service is provided by waiters.
The studio is equipped with a sound system and video projector. The space can also become a temporary gallery for the evening, whatever form the art takes.
Events run for 3 to 5 hours. The final price is calculated individually, based on a fixed studio reservation fee, the number of guests, the selected menu and the cost of ingredients.
