COOK FOR DUKE  /  Maria Ananiadou

Maria Ananiadou

Personal Chef Kefalonia

Ever since I can remember, I’ve had an insatiable desire to express myself through art. And it is within the culinary arts, particularly as a personal chef on Kefalonia, that I have discovered the perfect outlet—a realm where I can freely experiment, and most importantly, joyfully share my creativity with all of you.

Welcome to COOKFORDUKE! Inspired by my husband, Duke (Δούκας), whose name means so much to me, this journey began with cooking meals for him. Now, as a personal chef on the island of Kefalonia, I’m thrilled to share that same love and passion with each of you.

My culinary journey began at the Vocational School of Culinary Arts on Kefalonia, where I built my foundation. To refine my skills, I pursued further education in private schools in Athens and continue to grow through online seminars and personal exploration.

As a trained chef specializing in food intolerances and allergies, I create dishes that honor Greek tradition and the richness of local ingredients. My menus feature traditional recipes with a personal touch—shaped by childhood memories in Northern Greece, experiences on the Greek islands, and ongoing research—inviting you to savor the essence of Greek cuisine as I share both my knowledge and passion for its defining flavors.

And fear not, for I am here to recommend the perfect bottle of fine local wine that will harmoniously complement your meal.My utmost dedication is to ensure that your time spent on Kefalonia is truly unforgettable.
