Who is Chef Pav?
About Chef Pav
"Cooking has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
While other children dreamed of toys, I dreamed of kitchen tools.
From an early age, food wasn’t just something I ate - it was something I created, explored, and loved deeply.
That childhood passion grew into a professional journey that took me from kitchens in Bulgaria to restaurants across the United States, shaping my craft, discipline, and vision of what exceptional food should be.
But everything changed after my participation in Hell’s Kitchen Bulgaria.
That experience ignited something even stronger inside me - a desire not only to cook, but to build a name associated with bold flavors, honest ingredients, and unforgettable experiences."
The Journey - from restaurants to private chef
"My culinary journey has taken me from restaurants across Bulgaria to a steakhouse in Texas and seafood kitchens in Florida, where I built a strong foundation in precision, discipline, quality, and deep respect for ingredients. Those environments shaped me with speed, structure, and consistency. Everything shifted when I began cooking more personally - first for friends, then for private gatherings. I realized that beyond technique, what truly fulfills me is creating joy through food. Seeing genuine reactions, hearing heartfelt compliments, and watching conversations come alive around a table I’ve prepared feels far more meaningful than anything else."
Signature style – mediterranean soul, global skill
"Mediterranean cuisine is at the heart of my cooking. It's what I grew up with. It's vibrant, rich, and full of depth. Fresh ingredients, bold spices, clean flavors, and balance define my approach.
While I love creating across all cuisines and customizing menus for every client, Mediterranean food feels natural – it's where creativity flows effortlessly."
Our philosophy - more than food
"Pav Culinary is more than catering - it is peace of mind, trust, and presence. When I enter a client’s home, I don’t simply cook; I become part of the entire experience. I adapt seamlessly to each kitchen and each space, using your unique vision to transform the setting into a refined, restaurant-style dining experience.
You host, you enjoy, and you become a guest in your own home.
When the evening ends, I leave everything exactly as it was - except for the memories and flavors that remain. My goal is simple: to create unforgettable moments through food."
Final word from Chef Pav
"This career requires dedication, pressure, and constant growth - but it’s exactly what fuels me.
Making people happy through food is what motivates me every single day.
I give 100% of myself to every event, every dish, every client.
Thank you for trusting me with your moments, your homes, and your celebrations.
Until we meet again - be kind and enjoy great food."
