Chef Evan Burrows

Chef At Home in Kensington

I’m a professional chef with many years experience across multiple countries.

Have been in Australia for 10 plus years working in everything from fine dining to cafes.

Currently own my own business which includes a pub, an all day eatery in Albert Park and a private chef and catering business. I also do the hospitality for Avondale FC and the Beer and Beef Club.

For me, cooking is...

My everything, it’s the only thing I’m good at, and would be lost without the industry.

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook at school and then trained at Gordon Ramsay restaurant and House of Commons.

A cooking secret...

Using all the ingredient to avoid wastage.

We had chef Evan Burrows cook for our us at home to celebrate a 40th birthday. We had a huge array of dietaries and some very picky eater children. We al loved the meal- so many different varieties of entrees that were presented so well. The mains were amazing and even given the dietaries he still managed to make an epic dessert. Our kitchen was left cleaner than when he arrived. Thanks Evan for the lovely celebration meal that even the kids enjoyed!

An absolutely amazing experience. Evan is not only a great chef, but a lovely person. We had such a great night with him, the food was lovely, and he taught me a few things about cooking. Will most definitely do it again.

Absolutely incredible, we loved our experience from start to finish.

Chef Evan was punctual, easy to work with and made the whole experience incredible. The food was delicious. I'd highly recommend him!

Excellent meal. Chef did a fantastic job. Would highly recommend.

Evan was such a lovely, laid-back guy to deal with. He was incredibly organised on arrival and produced 4 superb courses. Our guests were blown away by the service and I’m sure he will get more business in the future from them. Thank you Evan for everything!

Evan was the best thing at the Party....amazing food, vibe and experience.

Evan and his team provide a wonderful experience for our wedding anniversary. I do recommend him. Thank you

Evan was amazing and cooked us a delicious meal. Will definitely get him to cook for us again.

Evan was super accomodating and made sure our girls dinner could be relaxing so that we could focus on catching up.

A great experience thank you tricky time of year so grateful we could get someone on boxing day

Evan was excellent

Great experience!!!

Evan was really great! He communicated well, showed up on time, the food was absolutely delicious. One issue that I hope someone could address is that he took all the leftovers, which we were looking forward to eating during the rest of our stay.

Perfect date night at home - no shopping, no cooking and no cleaning with good food.
