Hi! I am a passionate Michelin trained chef with over 20 years work experience having worked in some of the most prestigious restaurants in London and internationally. These include Chez Bruce, Terre à Terre, Murano (Gordon Ramsay) & Catalina Rose bay in Sydney to name just a few.

I have been living in Spain for 7 years now and feel equally happy creating Spanish menus for a more rustic local experience - paellas are a speciality, or creating sophisticated dishes for a special occasion. I can adapt to dietary requirements and enjoy designing vegetarian menus if required.

I also have extensive experience in events and private catering from working in one of the top law firms in the world where I regularly organised canapés parties, Hen parties, finger buffets and sharing feasts.

This led to me focusing on becoming a private chef full time.

I always aim to exceed my guests expectations by not only delivering amazing food but also in the other details. I usually work with an assistant to lay a beautiful table with napkins, printed menus and can bring extra tableware, plates/cutlery etc. to really set the scene to make your event extra special. Maybe some flowers for the table?

I also enjoy working with an amazing wine supplier here in Mallorca who focuses on smaller wineries offering organic & bio-dynamic/natural wines. We work together on the menus to offer a wine match/tasting or to suggest a couple of good bottles for a more informal setting.

For me, cooking is...

My passion, a way of life. I'm always working on something to keep moving forward. I am happiest when I am in the kitchen!

I learned to cook at...

I started washing up at 14yrs old, went to college & worked with incredible chefs in many amazing restaurants of all different types and styles

A cooking secret...

Always make more than you need. Leftovers make the best dishes!

I've hired many private chefs but I have to say Lucas is the best I've had the pleasure of booking. His communication, professionalism & chef skills are truly amazing. The food was incredible and I loved how easy the whole experience was. I was also impressed by his wine pairing ability using small Mallorcan wineries. A true foodie experience! 10/10
