“I started cooking when I was 16.
Not because I had to – but because I found something I loved.
From school competitions to cooking shows for hundreds of people – I was hungry to learn, not to impress.”
MEET THE MAKER
Adam Pełka
Just a man with a kitchen — and a reason to cook.
“I cook to connect. I cook to learn. I cook to feel alive.”
THE EARLY FLAME
Where it all started.
A TASTE OF REALITY
Moving to the UK changed everything.
“I thought high-end restaurants would change my career.
But I ended up prepping veg in silence, doing one task over and over.
The chefs were talented — but most didn’t share their knowledge.”“I learned discipline.
But I lost the fire that made me love cooking in the first place.”
THE SHIFT
From fine dining… to finding freedom.
“I didn’t want to be just a cog in someone else’s kitchen.
I missed real feedback — handshakes, not stars.”“So I left. And started again.
Cooking from my own kitchen, for people who actually care.”
WHAT I STAND FOR
The philosophy behind my food.
Less branding
No ego. Just food that matters.
Time where it counts
Slow-cooked when it counts. Quick when it needs to be.
From where I live
Cooked from home. For real people.
Nothing’s set
No fixed menu. Just what’s good today.
