For me, cooking is...

A way to create connection. I bring refined French techniques into private homes, using fresh, local ingredients to craft elegant.

I learned to cook at...

At home with my family in France, where Sunday meals were sacred. From an early age, I developed a deep respect for quality ingredient.

A cooking secret...

Love. Passion. And a little bit of crazy. Because unforgettable dining should never be boring.

I hired Jerome for my father's 90th birthday and it was an unforgettable experience for everyone! The food was amazing, we had a couple of picky eaters and they loved it, one described it as the best meal he'd ever had. Jerome also easily adapted for one persons allergies which we really appreciated. Jerome was friendly and entertaining and a joy to have at the party.

We highly recommend Jerome as a private chef. Jerome created a four-course meal that was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented — every dish was outstanding. Jerome and his kitchen band were both warm, professional, and easy to talk to, which made the whole evening feel relaxed and special. Thank you Jerome!

Jerome and his partner catered for private dinner party of 12 at our house. The service and quality of the food was nothing short of exceptional. Jerome communicated very well with us in the lead up to the event with no detail left untouched. I would highly recommend Jerome’s services as a quality private chef.

Jerome was an absolute pleasure to work with. Excellent communication from start to finish. We were 7 women visiting Mooloolaba and Jerome catered an incredible meal for us at our Airbnb property. We were able to work with Jerome to create a delicious menu that suited our guests' tastes and dietary requirements. Jerome arrived punctually and was polite and fun! The food was delicious. We could not fault it! Generous servings and beautiful presentation. Jerome set the table beautifully and cleaned up afterwards! I highly recommend Jerome if you are looking for a private chef on the Sunshine Coast!

Chef Jerome was amazing - his dishes were delicious and beautiful, and he was extremely professional and engaging throughout our experience. I highly recommend hiring Chef Jerome!

Jerome was amazing. He was polite, warm and very easy to work with. He made adjustments to the menu to suit our needs. The food he made was incredible. It was a fine dining experience in our own home. The quality of food and flavour is what you would expect in a Hatted Restaurant.
