2. Menu
A real Italian meal means several
courses; each course an experience
in itself, but connected like chapters
in a good book. Seafood is an
important part of the Italian cuisine
and one of Gregory's USPs.

3. Antipasti
Like his mom, Gregory believes the
mood of the evening is set with the
starters themselves, all light and
scrumptious appetizers he whips up
for his guests.
Salmone marinato and tartare di
tonno con salsa allo yogurt

4. Minestre
The first course is selected from a
variety of minestre: risotti, zuppe, as
well as pasta dressed with the most
varied, extravagant and delicious
sauces.
Risotto agli Asparagi

5. Secondi
After setting the mood with a
delicious primo, then comes the
secondo. Gregory's specialties are
always fresh and include a variety
of fish and meat dishes.
Coniglio alla Mediterranea

6. Dolce
How can we forget the tiramisù, one
of Italy best known desserts?
Gregory delights his guests with a
tiramisù in bicchiere con fragole
fresche marinate which is enticingly
sinful.
Pannacotta di Fragole con salsa

7. Quick Fix
Pressed for time? These dishes can
be charmed by Gregory’s Golden
Spoon at a bat of an eyelash … to
let you enjoy that perfect Italian
meal … yes … courses and all.

8. Gregory Nixon
A Canadian-born Italian, Gregory Nixon inherited
his passion for cooking from his Italian mom, who
is a brilliant cook and an impeccable hostess. The
wonderful dinners and luncheons she used to host,
and still does, sowed the first seeds of inspiration in
Gregory. This was where he began understanding
the strong bond created among people who enjoy a
meal together.
Gregory is a trained chef who has a rich background
and 10-year experience in several restaurants and
hotels across Europe.
Italian cuisine being his forte, he is equally adept
in international cooking as well. His training and
experience have seen him work as a private chef
for about four years.

9. Special Services
What’s on the plate?
Professionals barely find the time to cook,
even if they want to. A trying routine keeps
them away from indulging in life’s simple
pleasures – cooking elaborate meals, inviting
friends over for dinner or even spoiling and
pampering their partners.
With training and experience backing him
Gregory fully understands the needs of
today’s professionals.
If it is a business meeting or a special meal
for someone you love, Gregory can ensure
you needn’t do anything but wish for it.

10. Special Services
No need to run around to buy the right
ingredients, no hassles of slogging in the
kitchen for hours. You can sit down to a
wonderful meal with nothing to worry you.
Gregory specializes in
 Special dinners with friends and family
 Business dinners in a relaxed
atmosphere
 Romantic dinners for that special
someone

11. A slice of Italy
Being Italian Gregory is aware of the
fine nuances of Italian cooking and
these he is more than willing to share.
Upon request Gregory also conducts
classes where traditional Italian
cooking will be made simple.
