Get to know me better

French freelance chef based in Amsterdam, experienced in fine dining, private dining and high-end events.

I am a French freelance chef based in Amsterdam, with experience in fine dining restaurants, private dining and event catering.

I work as an independent chef for restaurants, pop-ups and private clients, and I am comfortable adapting to different kitchen environments and cuisines.

My cooking focuses on seasonal ingredients, simplicity, precision and flavour. I value efficiency, reliability and clear communication, both in professional kitchens and private settings.

Available for restaurant shifts, private dinners, chef at home experiences and special events.

The dishes and menus presented in my profile are examples of my work and serve as a showcase of my style, technique and experience.

Each menu is fully tailored to the client, the occasion and the setting. I strongly believe in creating a bespoke dining experience, adapting ingredients, formats and flavours to suit every situation and every guest.
