Meet Nelson Reposo
I am a professional private chef offering bespoke culinary experiences across Perthshire and throughout Scotland. With experience in Michelin-starred kitchens in Italy and the UK, I bring refined, fine-dining technique to your chosen venue, creating personalised menus tailored to your tastes, dietary needs, and occasion.
Each menu is carefully tailored to your tastes, dietary needs and occasion. My cooking blends Italian inspiration with high-quality, seasonal Scottish ingredients, delivering relaxed yet elegant dining for intimate dinners, shooting parties, and luxury holiday stays.
I also offer small, hands-on pasta-making workshops, sharing the joy of authentic Italian cooking in a relaxed and informal setting. Guests learn to make fresh pasta from scratch using simple techniques and the best local ingredients, creating an experience that is as much about connection and enjoyment as it is about food. Book your pasta class here.
