Private Chef Darren Boyle

I have spent most of my time in fine dining restaurants having held senior chef roles in kitchens such as Gordan Ramsey's.

I have 7 years as a chef under my belt, My travels and working in different concepts of kitchens has given me a better understanding of different cuisines, this lets me develop menus that are more fun and creative.

For me, cooking is...

A fun way to show off my hard word and skill.

I learned to cook at...

In college i got my basic understanding of cooking but my time spent working for Gordan Ramsey is were i learnt the most.

A role model in the kitchen is...

My role model would have to split down the middle between Heston Blumenthal and Grant Achatz.

A cooking secret...

Following the 5 P's Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.

We have had private chefs on hold before, but this was the first time in our home - for my wife's birthday. Darren did an outstanding job in all respects - exceeded expectations nations, as the saying goes! The food was excellent and Darren was friendly and engaging without interfering. We would happily recommend him, and indeed we look forward to using his services again!
