Arnis Ansons

Exceptional dining should be personal, memorable and created entirely around the people at the table. That belief is what Private Chef Experience is built on.

Portrait of chef Arnis Ansons

A life in professional kitchens

For more than 18 years I have dedicated my career to culinary excellence — developing my craft in professional kitchens and leadership roles, and learning alongside accomplished chefs.

Along the way I learned that the most memorable meals aren't defined by food alone, but by the atmosphere, the people and the moments shared at the table.

Experience at a glance

  • 18 years in professional kitchens
  • Chef, sous chef and head chef in the Baltic states, Thailand and Norway
  • Two years as host of the cooking show 5 garšas iedvesmai on TV3 Latvia
  • Modern European, New Nordic, French, Italian and Asian cooking
  • Featured in Sandefjords Blad

Beyond the kitchen

My work has also reached far beyond the kitchen. Through social media I've built a large community sharing my passion for food and creativity with audiences across Scandinavia and beyond, and my journey has led to television: for two years I hosted the cooking show 5 garšas iedvesmai on TV3 Latvia, and I have since worked on my own TV project.

How I cook

Refined technique, seasonal ingredients, thoughtful menu design and genuine hospitality.

My cooking brings together contemporary European, Nordic and international influences. No two events are ever the same: every menu is created from scratch around your preferences, your guests' dietary requirements and the experience you want to create.

My role extends beyond cooking. It's about creating an atmosphere where hosts can relax, guests can connect and every detail feels effortless.
