Get to know me better

Private chef with years in top hospitality, creating seasonal, flavour-driven dining experiences with relaxed sophistication.

I am a New Zealand-born private chef with a lifelong love of food and hospitality. After many years working front of house, I trained at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland, where I developed a deep appreciation for local, seasonal produce and classic cooking techniques. Now, as a private chef, I combine that foundation with an international approach to flavour, creating thoughtful, ingredient-led menus that feel both refined and relaxed. Whether it is an intimate dinner or a special celebration, I focus on food that brings people together and celebrates the simple joy of a beautiful meal shared.
