My name is Hannah, and I am a food obsessed Australian chef, who now lives and works in France. I have been working as a private chef for the last 10 years in luxury ski chalets and private residences across the south of France, Europe and the UK.

I specialise in sourcing, cooking and artfully plating the most beautiful local and seasonal produce, cooking classic dishes that have been modernised and elevated. Join me on a gastronomic voyage through France, where food becomes an experience, a memory and a delight for the senses, and where everything is taken care of!

With 20+ years experience in hospitality, I believe in relaxed but attentive service throughout your dining experience, and I am always happy to answer your cooking questions and share recipes. I look forward to cooking for you soon!

For me, cooking is...

An obsession! I am always thinking about food and collecting ideas from around the world. Cooking is a way of sharing your soul and with others.

I learned to cook at...

YSE Cookery School in Val d'Isere, France where I completed a four month training program. I also devour cook books, constantly collect recipes etc

A cooking secret...

Using the very best produce of course! Cooking local, seasonal produce tastes better, is better for health plus supports small businesses and artisans

Chef Hannah's reviews

We were a group of 14 people in a Chalet in Tignes and Hanna made dinner for us the entire week and it was an unforgettable experience which we all agreed was the pinnacle of the ski vacation. Everything was delicious, Hanna heard and adjusted things to our liking and dietary concerns which were spot on. The experience is certainly something I would highly recommend and certainly order again.

Hannah was the best! Highly attentive, professional and pleasant. It was a joy to have her cook for us and I would recommend her to anyone.

We had the most wonderful week with Hannah cooking for our group. The food was fantastic and we would almost come back to Val D'Isère again just to be able to ask her to cook for us again. It was a delight to have her in the chalet with us, and nothing was too much trouble. We had small children, meat eaters and veggies and she coped easily with it all. She made our holiday all the more special.

Expérience très réussie. Hannah nous a accompagnés toute une semaine de vacances en famille. Ses plats et sa personnalité ont séduit tout le monde. Vraiment excellent. Mention spéciale aux Fettuchini Vongole avec Pâtes maison... Même le petit de 2 ans en redemandait !!

Merci beaucoup à Hannah pour cet excellent dîner ! Tout était parfait, définition du menu (prise en compte de régimes spécifiques), dressage de la table, présentation des plats et biensur saveur !

La chef Hannah etait super ! C’était excellent que des produits frais bien cuisinés bien assaisonnés des amuses bouches au dessert tout etait parfait Service irréprochable et la chef a laissé la maison hyper propre meme la vaisselle etait faite Merci beaucoup
