Yerasimos Katsaitis grew up in the kitchen of his family’s restaurant. After a career of some years as a hotel
receptionist, his true vocation, that of chef, claimed him. Having done his training (Greek School of Tourist
Education diploma) he continues his culinary education through seminars, books and the Internet. However, he
doesn’t stop at the theory. He is primarily a kitchen craftsman; a lover of the aromas and sounds which are born
at the moment of serving – that unique instant when artistic inspiration and theoretical knowledge are turned into
food. And for that reason, for the last thirty five years, he has been working in hotels and restaurants both in and
outside Athens in Greece and in the UK (for the last five years), alongside famous as well as lesser-known chefs
and cooks, who have all contributed to his development. He lives with his family in Presteigne.
