Chef Mansour Boukaram

Private Chef in Manchester

I grew up with a taste for both Lebanese and international cuisines, and I love to experiment with different ingredients and recipes. I am a curious and creative chef who tailors my menu to my client’s preferences and the occasion. I have a knack for blending flavours and aromas to craft the ultimate dining experience that will linger in my client’s minds. I have been honing my skills as the Resident Chef for a Wine Bar in Amsterdam & London. I have also catered for various events such as gallery openings, private company launches and as a personal chef to high-net-worth individuals. Whether you want a warm and cozy family meal or a chic and elegant dinner party, I will impress you with my fusion cuisine and flair.

For me, cooking is...

My way of expressing myself through creativity

I learned to cook at...

The school of life, in my mother's kitchen!

A cooking secret...

Not being afraid of mixing things up!
