More about me

For me, cooking is...

For me, cooking is about respect — for the produce, for the people at the table, and for the years of kitchens that taught me how to get it right

I learned to cook at...

Several Parisian institutes - L'escargot Montroguiel, La Chammare Montmarte, and Fish la Boissonnerie, Whitebait fine, Ortega to name just a few.

A cooking secret...

Restraint — the best dishes let good produce shine, not compete. I cook with what's available and in season, and get out of its way.

Graeme was amazing. We were wanting a private dinner party for six. From the moment he introduced himself online to the end of our night, we cannot fault him. He replied promptly, listened to what how tastes were and put together a menu to suit us all. And we thoroughly enjoyed it. We would highly recommend Graeme for any type of function you're after. Thank you again Graeme. The birthday girl hasn't stopped raving about the night.

Chef Graeme came to our house for my husbands 50th dinner with 10 people. Nothing was a problem in planning, the food was beautiful and he was great with so much going on (kids, pets etc). The house was left spotless and we all had to know how he got his potatoes so tasty and crunchy!! Would highly recommend.

We had a fantastic experience with Chef Graeme. The food was incredible, full of flavour, beautifully prepared, and truly top quality. He was professional, friendly, and left the kitchen spotless, which made the whole evening effortless for us. We enjoyed a great night with amazing food and would highly recommend Chef Graeme!!

Chef Graeme was awesome. He was a true no-fuss, no-problems chef, which was exactly what we needed for our brand's VIP dinner event. He was clearly very experienced and could easily cater to the more elevated, professional setting. Our dinner location had no matching cutlery, glasses or plates, and he was able to bring everything. He's also super easy to work with. This was my first time organising a private chef, and Chef Graeme was very welcoming and was quick to respond to my questions before the event. Obviously, the food was very tasty, and the guests loved it too. AND he left the kitchen spotless! He was a huge contributor in making our brand event something special. Super happy with his service!

We had the best experience with Chef Graeme! So lovely to talk to and the food was amazing.

We had the most perfect day , with the most delicious food - he provided an outstanding meal

Chef Graeme was delightful, thoughtful and everyone connected that the food was delicious! We really enjoyed this evening

Chef Graeme was brilliant from arrival to departure! Food was so delicious, he was very attentive and professional. Would definitely recommend!

Chef Graeme was great with his communication during the planning stage and in the lead up to my event. He was very accommodating with menu changes and dietary requirements. My guests and I were very impressed with the quality of the food and the cleanliness of the kitchen after!

Our experience with Graeme was wonderful, the food just kept on coming and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the night and it was so nice to just sit back and let someone else take care of everything. Highly recommended!

This was the first time experiencing a private chef, and it was beyond amazing. The communication was on point and very accomodating. For my 30th birthday I asked for a more buffet style as would be easier for my group of friends and the set up of this was amazing. The food was 10/10 and everything was cleaned up. I would highly recommend Graeme.

Graeme was phenomenal and I don't brandish that term around a bunch because I find it quite hard to say out loud. We had clear communication before the event, he was accomodating when we changed a menu item the day before, and was brilliant on the night. Graeme is a bit like a high-end MC when it comes to food. He kept the evening progressing as an excellent speed, each of the courses were serve family style. We got to the end everyone had a brilliant night. Seriously it's our first time with a private chef for a birthday and it was just brilliant! I would 1000% do this again, and had a delightful time. Graeme is excellent, if he sends you a menu, say yes, you won't be disappointed!

Top notch Chef! Went over and beyond! The food was outstanding. Highly recommend !!!

Graeme was fantastic and the food was delicious. He came prepared and organised and left the kitchen clean. The lunch went very smoothly. Would recommend!

Chef Graeme was fantastic. We were so amazed by the food but what made it such a great experience is that he was so efficient with the cleaning and cooking. Felt exactly like a restaurant but convenient. My guests were so impressed. With two toddlers having the chef at home was a great experience. Chef Graeme had a variety of dishes and also affordable and overall very professional with how he interacted with everyone. We will definitely get him to cook for us again.

Graeme was a complete professional from start to finish and made our New Year’s one to remember! Communication was perfect throughout and execution very slick, from setting up through to cleaning away. Every course was well prepared and delicious. Highly recommended!

Graeme was an amazing chef who was very accomodating and easy to work with. We loved the delicious meal he put on and would highly recommend him and use him again in future. Thank you Graeme!
