Get to know me better

Experienced Private Chef creating nourishing flavour forward food with seasonal ingredients and a passion for bringing people together.

I’m an experienced chef with 15+ years’ experience in private dining, catering, events, menu development and retreats. My experience spans from casual cuisine and street food to beautifully plated multi course meals, with a broad knowledge of international cuisines and flavours. I’m comfortable creating meals around dietary requirements, whether vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, high protein or low carb. I love working with local ingredients and seasonal cooking. One of my greatest strengths is understanding personal preferences and creating food that feels completely in alignment with each person and is absolutely delicious. Cooking is about more than food. It’s about creating an experience, bringing people together and making them feel genuinely cared for.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is how I turn care into something tangible : respecting ingredients, honouring their nourishment, and finding magic in flavour combinations.

I learned to cook at...

From a young age, I was curious in the kitchen, baking, preserving and pickling alongside my food loving family.

A cooking secret...

Curiosity, gratitude and love. I let the ingredients speak, stay open to what they offer, and allow them to play their part in creating magic.
