Meet the Chef
Yoav Schverd is a passionate and highly experienced Private Chef, Culinary & Hospitality Consultant, and Restaurateur with a proven track record of delivering exceptional dining experiences, specializing in fresh, healthy, and tasty food.
He creates magic from any ingredients he will have while working with high-end clientele.
Yoav specializes in bespoke private chef services for A-list celebrities, high-profile events, and luxury catering for groups ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale events of up to thousands of guests. With a deep understanding of restaurant operations, menu development, and hospitality consulting, he has successfully founded and managed dining establishments.
Yoav’s food is a culmination of the vast cultures he grew up around, which include many Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, European, Asian, and African influences. Like many, perhaps his most significant impacts come from his home life. At the age of 4, Yoav regularly went fishing with his father and learned how to catch and clean a fish before learning to read. Seeing his mother prepare the fish for dinner inspired his love for cooking
“I remember my dad coming back from the Jaffa port with a couple of fish in his bag and some ice. Mom was frying the fish straight from the sea, as fresh as it can be. The house was full of that m smell, and I can still feel it.”
Yoav graduated from Israel’s law school, Bar Ilan University. He then passed the bar exam and went on to never practice a day of law but instead focus on his culinary career. Yoav has learned from some of the best chefs in Israel, opened several bars and restaurants, worked on cooking shows, and even won the Israeli version of “The Bachelorette.”
Since moving to Beverly Hills in 2016, Yoav has become a father of two and has found success as a private chef to the stars and the upper echelon of Los Angeles and a culinary consultant to hotels and restaurants. Yoav is a co-partner of Carmel, Nua and PitaBu restaurants, one is located in the center of Beverly Hills, one in Melrose Avenue, and the other in Malibu, with a sea view, offers amazing Mediterranean cuisine in a unique European atmosphere and Tel Aviv delicious cuisine.
Consistently donating his time to charitable causes, including being auctioned off for Tilly’s Life Center, Yoav strives to make the world smile with his cooking.
