Chef Chakib Daim

French Private Chef in Sydney

Bonjour, I’m Chakib, a French private chef based in Sydney.

For me, cooking is about creating a memorable experience around the table: generous flavours, beautiful presentation and the pleasure of sharing authentic French cuisine.

My cooking is inspired by traditional French gastronomy, Mediterranean flavours and the food I grew up with, while keeping a modern and elegant approach to presentation.

I offer private dining experiences for couples, families, groups of friends, birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions.

I take care of the experience from start to finish: selecting the ingredients, preparing the meal in your home, plating and serving each course, and leaving the kitchen clean afterwards.

My menus can also be adapted according to allergies, dietary requirements and personal preferences.

My cooking style

French cuisine with Mediterranean influences.

I particularly enjoy working with quality meat, fresh seafood, seasonal vegetables, homemade sauces and classic French techniques.

My objective is simple: bring the atmosphere and quality of a French restaurant directly into your home.

For me, cooking is…

A way to bring people together and create memories around great food.

I learned to cook…

Through my experience in France, particularly in Paris, developing my knowledge of French cuisine, sauces, meat, seafood and traditional techniques.

My cooking secret…

Respect the product, keep flavours clear and never overcomplicate a beautiful ingredient.
