Get to know me better

Wholefood-focused Private Chef crafting luxurious, vibrant, and flavourful meals that nourish the body and elevate intimate gatherings and retreats.

Hi, I’m Amy - a nutrition-focused private chef with over 10 years of experience creating vibrant, wholesome meals for couples, retreats, and intimate gatherings across New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. My cooking is rooted in wholefoods, flavour, and nourishment—designed to support well-being while still feeling indulgent and deeply satisfying.

Before moving into private cheffing full time, I founded and ran The Sustainable Food Co., a multi-award-winning catering company known for its innovative, health-forward menus and environmentally conscious practices. I’m also trained in plant-based and raw cuisine, hold a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from eCornell, and am currently studying Holistic Performance Nutrition.

Whether you're looking for a retreat chef, an in-home dining experience, or something tailored to your lifestyle and goals, I bring warmth, creativity, and a passion for feel-good food to every table.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

my love language. It grounds me, sparks creativity, fills bellies, and yes - makes me cry, but only when onions are involved.

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook at the crossroads of curiosity and necessity—then formally trained in plant-based, raw, and holistic nutrition-based cuisine.

A cooking secret...

My secret in the kitchen is balancing bold flavour with nourishment—making every dish as good for your body as it is for your taste buds.
