Private Chef in Cavan
Get to know me better
I’m a passionate chef and food innovator whose life revolves around creating, learning, and sharing food that brings people together.
I have been a professional chef for over 10 years. I studied Culinary Arts in DIT and that's where I got my BA. I worked in small a family run restaurant at the start of my career to learn the basics of cheffing. I then went international and got some great experience in a bakery in San Diego. I've worked as a chef in restaurants in Dublin where I learned a lot as a young chef. Our focus in Dublin was wholesome, organic food packed with tonnes of flavour. I moved on and specialised in Pastry after this, where I honed my skills with the best in Le Patissier in Dublin, catering to lots of high end hotels and restaurants as well as some very big corporate gigs and weddings. I also have my own business making and designing wedding cakes/occasion cakes.
Currently I work in New Product Development in the food industry where I can create on a larger scale.
My favourite way to cook for people, is in a sharing style. It allows guests to interact and fully enjoy the food together.

I learned to cook at...
I learned a lot in college of course but it's the chefs and colleagues I've had along the way that helped me and inspired me to learn and push myself
A cooking secret...
1. There is always time to cook. 2. Always freeze your Parmesan rinds, add them to pasta sauces, trust me. 3. Balsamic in your bolognese...
