Chef Simon Gathoni
Chef At Home in Nairobi
Get to know me better
I’m a lifelong student of food, dedicated to honoring ingredient nurturing creativity, and serving others through the craft of cooking.
I began my culinary journey as a delivery boy at a local cake shop, where my passion for food and hospitality first took root. Eager to refine my skills, I pursued formal training at the Cascade Institute
of Hospitality. After graduating, I honed my expertise working in renowned hotels, including JW Marriott, Ibis Styles, and Mövenpick, where I spent three years mastering the art of high-volume and high-quality service. Today, I channel that experience into my own venture as a Private Chef, blending creativity, precision, and personalized service to deliver exceptional dining experiences.
