The wandering kitchen aims to deliver high end private chef services within Mallorca and beyond, along with interactive pop ups in various locations with a well sourced and tailored experience for each guest.

Our Philosophy

We honor the art of letting fresh, seasonal ingredients shine. From locally sourced vegetables to sustainably caught seafood, every ingredient is chosen with care to ensure bold, natural flavors in every bite.

"My husband and I attended a cocktail party organised by Jono and James we enjoyed it so much we had to hire Jono to cater for our extended families trip. Jono was attentive and professional, he cooked for us for 8 days and we loved every meal ranging from family style to my husbands requested 5 course degustation. Thanks Jono!"

Martha Kingsley

"James was the chef at the villa I rented, my young family and I were blown away by his attention to detail and creativity. He quickly found his rhythm and created food we like (my son is quite a picky eater) and he is still talking about chef James! I highly recommend James and will be booking his services again later this year."
