Where Wellness, Flavor & Culinary Expertise Meet

Olá and welcome! I’m Chef Stella Giraldella, founder of Basil Personal Chef, and I’m thrilled to invite you into my culinary world. This blog is your behind-the-scenes look at the art of personalized cooking, wellness-based cuisine, and the luxury lifestyle that inspires everything I do.

Who I Am

I was born in Brazil and raised by my grandmother, who taught me that great food starts with love, real ingredients, and mindful preparation. Over the years, I’ve transformed that foundation into a career serving private clients, professional athletes, and high-end brands across Miami and beyond.

From intimate dinners to high-performance recovery meals, every service I provide is rooted in wellness, global flavor, and thoughtful hospitality.

• Step-by-step guides on using luxury appliances like Gaggenau and Thermador

• Post-surgery and athlete-focused nutrition tips

Whether you’re here for cooking tips or lifestyle inspiration, I hope this blog brings more flavor, confidence, and creativity into your kitchen.
