03 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE PLATE

A PERSONAL APPROACH

A little about me.

Good food, good people, and a personal approach.

I'm Pedro Galliussi, a self-taught private chef with Argentinian and Peruvian roots and 15 years of experience in the kitchen.

My love for cooking started at home, watching my mother. She was my first teacher, and I remember there were often two different meals being prepared because she always wanted everyone to enjoy what they were eating. I think I inherited that from her.

As a teenager, I was usually the one cooking for my friends. I loved experimenting and seeing people enjoy what I'd made. My professional journey started later in Sydney, Australia, and I've been learning ever since.

My cooking draws inspiration from Mediterranean, Argentinian, and Peruvian cuisines, but I don't follow one particular style. I enjoy adapting to the people I'm cooking for, their tastes, and the occasion.

For the past eight years, I've been the sole resident private chef at the same villa in Lefkada — six years at Villa Temenos, followed by two years after it became Serenaos, where I continue to work.

For me, cooking has always been about more than food. It's about bringing people together, making them feel comfortable, and creating moments they'll remember.
