Chef Richard Tan
Chef At Home in Ashgrove
Get to know me better
I'm a private chef making fresh, custom home-cooked meals from Italian and Tex-Mex to party canapés. Enjoy great food with zero effort or mess!
With ten years of hands-on experience, formal technique, and culinary leadership across Brisbane, my career began with a comprehensive five-year dual qualification in Culinary Arts and Pastry (2016–2020). I built my foundation mastering vibrant, bold flavors during three years at Pepe’s Mexican Restaurant (2018–2021) and two years honing hearty European comfort food and sauce work at Heisenburg Haus (2021–2023). Most recently, I spent nearly four years at Alchemy Restaurant and Bar (2023–2026), working directly alongside the owner and head chef as Sous Chef. Beyond running a line, this role deepened my mastery of advanced techniques, fine-dining flavor balance, and high-end dish execution. Together, these experiences taught me how to bring restaurant-grade skill, diverse global flavors, and effortless reliability directly into your home delivering exceptionally cooked, customized meals without any of the stress.
