    We are in need of experienced fixers in the following locations Corsica, Sardinia, Mallorca, Cyprus and Crete for a Channel 4 food programme. We will need help with translation, logistics and finding contributors, locations and stories. Ideally we would like someone who knows exactly what important local dishes we should be focusing on, where we should go and who we should meet in order to really understand the cuisine of the region. They would need to have a good command of English and be available to work during the months of June and July not necessarily on a full time basis. Any recommendations welcome!

    Hello, My name is Ross Hutchison and I am a private chef here in Mallorca. Part of my job everyday is to find the sources of great produce, great food, olive oil, wine, and the producers behind it. My biggest joy is to offer my clients the REAL Mallorca, not just what all the tourists get. My wife and I lived in New York City for the last 12 years so we know what it takes to connect people to people. Please feel free to contact me at ross@privatechefmallorca.com and I can help you out.

    Hi!

    I’m a location manager in Mallorca since 1996. I grew up on the island and I speak English, Spanish, German,French and Portuguese.
    I definitely know my way around Mallorca and Mallorca’s best restaurants and know some mallorquín grannys who make the best local dishes!
    I’m still available June and July. Please contact me via email:
    nora@eyelandlocations.com

    would be nice to hear from you!

    Hi Martha, I have a location & production services company in Italy.
    I produced the Pirelli Calendar in Corsica on 2012. Food, wine and local atmospheres have been deeply tried and tasted as you can imagine. Rosè is amazing…fish is gorgeous and the meat is wild!
    In Sardinia I spent almost 30 years, I have a house in the east north. Sardinia is totally different from Corsica and completely different from all the other italian regions developed on the ocean. His food has historical origin from roman period…little fisherman activity and big country side areas where born all main food products.
    I born in Naples and I work all around Italy…food is a passion!!!
    I organized a photo book called Pasta for Lagostina Company. It was a photo reportage of nine women of different italian region preparing and cooking their pasta receipt, typical from each region.
    Few years ago I did a same job for Food Channel Usa with Wolfgang Puck tasting all south italian regions kitchens.
    So I’d love to help you in this smell, colour and taste trip visiting the most amazing and rare locations in the two islands.
    Speak soon,
    ciao

    Hello there!

    Halloumi cheese, paskies, flaounes, pishies, makarounia tou fournou etc etc These are just a few of the plethora of the delicious traditional dishes found only in Cyprus.

    Being a documentary filmmaker since 1990 and making a lot of projects for the Cyprus Tourism Organization, the regional board of tourism of Pafos and Troodos as welll as for the Ministry of Culture about the history, tradition and culture of Cyprus, I know this island like the palm of my hand.

    From Pafos to Ayia Napa, from Nicosia to Limassol, there are plenty of places to visit and film local restaurants and hospitable people who can cook for you and for your food programme. We also have access to many municipalities and other local authorities so we can help you in the logistics and sponsorhip, apart of the production facilities my company TETRAKTYS FILMS may offer you.

    If you are interested in working with us please contact me in private.

    Best regards
