ABOUT ME
From the heart of Sardinia to experiences around the world
I’m Ylenia Parente, 28 years old, and I’ve been living the kitchen with passion, skill, and curiosity for over 12 years. My roots run deep in Sardinia — among floured hands and family memories — but my journey has taken me far, into many different kitchens and dining experiences. As a Private Chef, I craft bespoke culinary experiences for villas, yachts, and private events, taking care of every detail with elegance and discretion. As a Pasta Maker, I preserve the tradition of fresh pasta, reinterpreting it with creativity through masterclasses and collaborations across Italy and abroad.
For me, cooking is a universal language of authenticity, warmth, and memory — a way to tell our story, one dish at a time.

TESTIMONIALS
What they say about me
"Unforgettable experience"
"Chef Yle prepared dinner for our group of 16 people, including two children. The food was absolutely outstanding, full of flavor and beautifully balanced. The highlights were the culurgiones and the mascarpone mousse. She was very communicative and worked with me to customize our menu. She arrived on time, was extremely professional and left the kitchen spotless." - Kathy
"Delicious food and impeccable service"
"Great experience with local cuisine. We received menu suggestions very quickly, and the chefs prepared amazing dishes with local ingredients, exactly to our taste. The service was attentive, and the chefs left the kitchen spotless. We highly recommend the team." - Mads
"unforgettable Sardinian dinners"
"We were a group of 9 people, 7 adults and 2 children. Our chef Ylenia and her assistant did an excellent job preparing and serving the dishes. She also cooked special meals for the kids. Ylenia took care of the cleanup and left the kitchen perfectly tidy. Many of the dishes were local cuisine, made with fresh ingredients. At the end of each meal, we discussed the next day’s menu together. The menu was quite varied.
We asked her to repeat some of our favorite dishes. It was wonderful to enjoy so many Sardinian specialties. Her dishes were always a highlight of the day. Ylenia was very kind and professional, and overall it was an excellent experience. Having Ylenia take care of our dinners made our stay in Sardinia truly enjoyable. I highly recommend Ylenia and Take a Chef to anyone planning a trip to Sardinia." - Salvatore
"Perfect birthday dinner with Chef Ylenia!"
"Chef Ylenia provided the perfect private birthday dinner experience for my friends. The food was delicious from start to finish. It was very easy to work with Chef Ylenia. She worked with me to plan the menu a few months in advance, met our preferences and even added an extra pasta course upon request. She let us know we only needed to provide wine glasses and a tablecloth, and she would take care of everything else and it was perfect. She arrived with everything she needed and left the place spotless when she was done. I had such an amazing experience and would definitely host Chef Ylenia again if I return to Sardinia. Thank you Chef Ylenia!" - Colleenchawla
