Chef Alexander Balchin
Chef At Home In Islington
Get to know me better
I trained as an architect and I bring a decade of design experience to every dish. My focus is on presentation, details and surprising flavours.
I am a private chef with high attention-to-detail presentation and flavour with contemporary tasting menus. With over a decade of previous experience working as an architect in Europe, Asia and North America, my dishes have an aesthetic presentation beyond typical culinary art.
With a focus on small plates and finger foods, my dishes stand out for their exquisite plating and visual appeal. I believe that food should be simple, honest, and delivered with excellence to ensure that every dish brings joy and excitement to the dining experience.
