Private Chef Jazmine Malchiondo

I am a French-trained chef with 7 years of experience working across a range of cuisines. I have built my style around bold, vibrant flavours influenced by Italian, Spanish, and broader Mediterranean cooking.

My approach to food is to incorporate elevated and fun techniques with bold flavours to create dishes that feel special and memorable. I enjoy both the creative and execution sides of cooking, and spend time developing recipes and building menus tailored to each client and occasion.

Over the years, I’ve cooked everything from private fine dining dinners to large-format catering at parties and relaxed, family-style gatherings. I’m equally comfortable designing multi-course plated experiences as I am creating abundant shared meals.

I am very comfortable working with dietary restrictions, as I myself eat gluten-free, and I enjoy creating thoughtful vegan and vegetarian menus.

What I value most is flexibility and collaboration. I love incorporating ingredients, flavours, or ideas that are meaningful to my clients to create menus that feel truly personalized and memorable.

For me, cooking is...

A way to show people what’s in my brain, and leave behind something that stays with them after the meal is gone.

I learned to cook at...

I trained in classical French technique at George Brown College where I received a diploma in Culinary Management and an Honours Bachelor of Commerce.
