Stefano suppies Edinburgh bakeries
Top private chef Stefano Sanna has been improvising during lockdown by providing several Edinburgh bakeries with his authentic Italian breads and baked goods.
Originally from Sardinia, Stefano owns Shardana Catering, a private catering company based in Edinburgh. Stefano has responded to Covid-19 restrictions which make it difficult for him to cater events and is baking up a storm with focaccia, speciality breads and bomboloni – Italian style doughnuts.
Stefano explained: “I run an independent private catering company in Edinburgh, perfect for dinner parties and small events across Scotland. When the first lockdown was announced I pivoted to offer private chef services in people’s homes. I also started a home delivery service which sells a few Italian traditional staples.”
The characterful Italian chef has continued to offer his delivery service throughout autumn and winter, with mouth-watering menus which can be easily reheated and served at home.
With lockdown restrictions changing daily, Stefano turned his skills as a chef to baked goods. “When the second Edinburgh lockdown hit, fewer people required private chefs. I began to supply local Edinburgh bakeries with tasty Italian baked goods.”
Stefanois now supplying his delicious baked goods to a number of outlets across the capital. These include Victor Hugo Delicatessen, on Melville Terrace; Il Fruttivendolo, on the High St; Di Giorgio, on Brandon Terrace and Maria’s KAKES, in Albert Place.
Stefano is a busy man adjusting to his new baker’s schedule. “The new routine is different to adjust to as I am up early in the morning cooking for the bakeries and then cook for our home delivery menu”.
Luckily for Stefano, under current Edinburgh rules Shardana Catering can now continue to offer private chef services.
