My Bio - Kira Ghidoni

I was born and bred in Switzerland (in Ticino, the Italian part) and I began cooking when I was 4-5 years old. I went to high school but after 6 months I realised that it wasn’t for me and one day I woke up thinking “what if I become a Chef”? Within 5 years I finished two apprenticeship one as a Chef and another as a Pastry Chef. After working for 2 years in the French part of Switzerland I decided to leave my country to improve my skills and I’ve got a call from London. It was hard at first, not knowing a word of English, but the passion for my job took over my fears. I had a blast and worked as a Pastry Chef in some of the top restaurants in London; Mosimann’s, Murano by Angela Hartnett and Fera at Claridge’s only to name a few. After 5 years I’ve decided to move to Australia, the country I’ve dreamt of for so many years. Here too I found a job as executive Pastry Chef at Vue de Monde and worked there for 1 year. I moved to New Zealand in 2017 and decided to take care of the dessert menu of The Grove but I wanted to go back into the kitchen to learn more. So I did and within 8 months I was promoted Head Chef. I met my partner Fabien and after running the restaurant together for over a year we decided it was time to come back to Europe. Fabien followed me back to my roots, my home, Ticino. Here I am now, we’re looking at places to open our own restaurant and can’t wait to get started.

"I can’t wait to meet you and looking forward cooking with you all!"
