Chef Graeme Corlett

Chef At Home In Abbotsford

I am a high performing, creative, consistent, positive, and passionate Chef with over 10 years’ experience working within a diverse range of kitchens including French Michelin Guide, New Zealand fine dining, AA Rosette, 5 Star Hotel, Parisian Brasserie, Modern Gastro Pubs, Café’s, Catering, and Wine bars.

For me, cooking is...

A lifestyle of travelling Sydney, cooking inside peoples homes, sharing, creating, and eating food from different cultures with old and new friends.

I learned to cook at...

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

A cooking secret...

Use the equipment and products available to your advantage, fresh is best, and let the ingredients shine.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Greame prepare a traditional Midsummer Swedish dinner for us, and it was nothing short of incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented, authentic, and bursting with flavour. The chef was also an absolute dream to work with — professional, friendly, and incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process. They made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable from start to finish. An unforgettable evening of amazing food and warm hospitality — highly recommend!

Great meal prepared by Chef Graeme. The food prepared was fresh, tasty and delicious, thank you.

We had the pleasure of working with Chef Graeme, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. His communication was clear and professional, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the night, he was incredibly attentive and engaging with our guests, adding a personal touch that made the event even more special. Everything ran seamlessly, and the food was exceptional. We highly recommend Chef Graeme and look forward to working with him again!

We had Chef Graeme cook a private dinner for 18 people, and he truly exceeded all expectations. There were a few dietary requirements, which he worked around seamlessly. The food and presentation were absolutely incredible — everyone spoke so highly of him and were more than impressed with his services. From the canapés to the starters, mains, and dessert, there wasn’t a single thing we could fault. I would highly recommend Chef Graeme and would not hesitate to book him again. Not only did he arrive promptly and have every dish served on time, but he also left the kitchen spotless and was extremely friendly and professional throughout the evening.

The chef I picked Chef Graeme was exceptional! He communicated well and help me create a special experience. The food he served was incredible, he and Miles (Batman) were a brilliant and professional team.

Fantastic night and incredible food, thank you

Incredible food and service. My guests were raving about it all night. Graeme was easy going and personal.

I recently hosted a bachelorette lunch and had the pleasure of hiring Chef Graeme and Myles (his bar staff team), and I can't recommend them enough! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The cocktails were expertly crafted, the food was beyond delicious, and the entire experience felt seamless. As someone who has never hired a private chef before, I was a bit nervous, but Chef Graeme completely exceeded my expectations. His attention to detail, professionalism, and culinary expertise were top-notch. Myles was equally amazing, ensuring every drink was on point and adding to the overall fantastic vibe. If I ever need a private chef again, Chef Graeme will absolutely be my first choice. I can’t thank him and his team enough for making this special occasion even more unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Graeme was punctual, prepared and personable, working away quietly with fresh local produce, but always available to answer questions when guests wandered into the kitchen. He was unflabbable as he skilfully worked with the facilities and equipment that were present. Every delicious mouthful was a testament to his skill and passion for cooking. It was great, loved by all. We hired quite the location and so it was important the food matched the equisite setting. Afterwards he quickly tidied up, it was like he was never there, but of course he left us with an unforgettable memory and some leftovers in the fridge. Please don't hesitate to book this very special chef, for your next occasion. He didn't just make the delicious dinner, he made the evening.

Our chef Graeme was amazing! Constant communication prior to the dinner to ensure everything was set for the night. The food was delicious and was exactly what we asked for. We would definitely have Graeme come and cook for us again! 5 star!

It was surprise for my husband's birthday as he didn't feel like going out. Chef Graeme was outstanding! He was great with the kids, patient and meticulous in his presentation. The food itself was super fresh and servings generous. Thanks again for such making our stay at home dinner so wonderful!

Chef Graeme offered us a wonderful dinner experience for our hens, I can't recommend him enough! He was very considerate of our requests and worked closely with us to create the perfect menu. Graeme was such a lovely presence and even found time to chat while cooking up a storm. The food and presentation were 10/10, we really couldn't have asked for a better experience!

We had chef Graeme for a hens event and Graeme was amazing. His food was very delicious and gave us many options to choose from for the menu. Graeme was very kind and friendly and I would definitely recommend him to my friends

Chef Graeme and his very able helper Myles provided a fantastic meal and top quality service. They made our celebration dinner very special and all our guests agreed. Highly recommended

Graeme was fabulous and I highly recommend him. It was a last minute booking and Graeme could not have been more helpful especially with a couple of dietary requirements. Graeme was a pleasure to have in the home and we all had a fabulous night. We will definitely book again. Thank you

Chef Graeme did an amazing job making burgers as requested. I felt like he worked very hard to refine the menu to get it just right and everyone was amazed at the quality.
