Tailored culinary development from concept to plate

Hi there, what’s cooking?

Let me introduce myself: my name is Chiara Marino, and I have always been fascinated by food. Growing up immersed in two vibrant food cultures, with an Indo-Dutch mother and an Italian father, in the heart of the culinary region of South Limburg, I was drawn to the kitchen from a young age. This early exposure sparked a lifelong passion for food, cooking, and everything that comes with it. Over the years, I’ve worked as a chef and as a recipe and product developer in the food industry.

Storytelling through food is essential to me; I believe that sharing a meal can bring people together and create lasting connections. I draw most of my inspiration from my surroundings. While I have a soft spot for classic dishes, I love adding a contemporary twist, always staying attuned to new trends and developments. Through Food Atelier Marino, I aim to bring my versatility and passion to a variety of projects.

Let’s bring food inspiration to life, connect with me and let’s create something exceptional together.

Culinary Services

In my atelier, I bring culinary ideas to life – from product and recipe development to concept creation and visual storytelling. I support food companies in refining and scaling their products, always with a focus on flavor, feasibility, and detail. I also offer private dining experiences tailored to personal stories or themes, making each meal one of a kind. My services include original recipe development for brands, cookbooks, and hospitality, as well as culinary writing – from inspiring articles to sharp reviews. With a keen eye for food styling and photography, I help create images that truly capture the essence of each dish.
