Get to know me better

Culinary fission chef, adventurous while respecting the classical cooking

I am an accomplished Private Executive Chef with 23 years of culinary experience, specializing in creating memorable dining experiences in the comfort of your home. My background as a Head Chef and Kitchen Manager in luxury lodges, fine dining establishments, and private retreats has equipped me with the expertise to deliver restaurant-quality meals with a personal touch.

Cooking, for me, is about more than food; it’s about creating an atmosphere, telling a story, and making every guest feel special. Whether it’s an intimate dinner for two, a family celebration, or a themed event with friends, I design and execute customized menus that reflect your taste, style, and occasion.

What I Offer:

Personalized Menus – crafted to suit your theme, dietary needs, and flavor preferences.

Themed Home Dining – fine dining, buffets, BBQs, safari-inspired menus, wine-paired dinners, or global cuisine nights.

Full-Service Experience – from menu planning, shopping, and preparation to presentation and clean-up.

Professional Standards – 23 years of fine dining expertise, HACCP-certified, and skilled in safety & fire protocols.

Memorable Moments – combining creativity with hospitality to transform ordinary gatherings into extraordinary events.

Experience Highlights:

I have led kitchens and designed menus for luxury brands and organizations, including:

Cottars 1820 Safari Camp – Masai Mara

Morani Restaurant, Ol Pejeta Conservancy

Wild Eye Safaris – Kenya

AFEX – Turkana & Garissa

Indiana University House (AMPATH-affiliated) – Eldoret

Now working as a freelance private chef, I bring world-class experience directly to your table, delivering a tailored culinary journey that elevates any occasion.

If you’re looking to host a home dining experience that feels personal, elegant, and unforgettable, I am here to craft it for you.
