MasterChef 2026 SemiFinalist turned private chef, offering personalised dining experiences through private hire or pop-up restaurant events.

In 2026, I finished in the final 6 of MasterChef UK, by wowing the judges and food critics with punchy global flavours, innovative dishes and a colourful personality! Since then I have launched my own private catering company, specialising in luxury dining experiences that take inspiration from all around the world.

Since MasterChef I have run sold-out restaurant events all over the UK, catered for celebrity clientele, demonstrated my skills at national food festivals and more.

I love creating bespoke dining experiences to help people celebrate life's many occasions, and will always tailor the menu to you and your guests. Perhaps it includes your favourite foods, takes you on a tour of you favourite countries or is even themed around your favourite film!

More about me

For me, cooking is...

A great way to bring people together. Incredible food can enhance any celebration, and always gets people happy and talking.

I learned to cook at...

home. My parents are both foodie, with very different styles. I've also learnt from my travels and from working in top kitchens all around the UK.

A cooking secret...

Using top quality ingredients, and taking my time. I like to experiment with different flavours, textures and ingredients.
