Zivko Radojcic

I bring heritage, precision, and creativity to every table I cook for.

I come from a family deeply rooted in gastronomy, and my passion grew through formal training at Cooking High School and Hospitality College in Belgrade—where I fell in love with Serbia’s culinary history and a fresh, farm-to-table approach.

Since moving to New York City in 2010, I’ve sharpened my technique and leadership working alongside Michelin-starred teams at places like Picholine, Eleven Madison Park, Juni, and Jung Sik. I’ve also appeared on TV in Serbia and won "Chopped," and I bring that same discipline and creativity to delivering exceptional dining experiences.

What you can expect when you book me

Cooking is my lifestyle

For me, cooking is a lifestyle, and that means I treat every detail—ingredients, timing, and execution—with daily discipline and genuine care.

Michelin-level training and kitchen leadership

I built my career by working and staging in Michelin-starred kitchens, including Picholine, Eleven Madison Park, Juni, and Jung Sik, where I learned the rigor, consistency, and leadership it takes to run a professional service.

A simple philosophy: freshness and heart

I rely on fresh ingredients and love for what I do, because that’s what makes food feel personal, memorable, and worth sharing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 190.40 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook French, Local, Italian, Chef's special, Seafood/Fish and Mediterranean. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
