I’m Ylenia Parente, 28 years old, and I’ve been living the kitchen with passion, skill, and curiosity for over 12 years. My roots run deep in Sardinia — among floured hands and family memories — but my journey has taken me far, into many different kitchens and dining experiences. As a Private Chef, I craft bespoke culinary experiences for villas, yachts, and private events, taking care of every detail with elegance and discretion. As a Pasta Maker, I preserve the tradition of fresh pasta, reinterpreting it with creativity through masterclasses and collaborations across Italy and abroad.

For me, cooking is a universal language of authenticity, warmth, and memory — a way to tell our story, one dish at a time.
