Chef Lerryn Hawken
Private Chef In Burbush

Get to know me better
Passionate chef who loves new techniques just as much as indigenous foods and methods
21 years as a professional chef in some of the world's best kitchens, still evolving my own true style of cooking, which is now a mix of modern fine dining and indigenous cooking, with a solid foraging and local ingredient foundation.
I have been lucky enough to have received a equal 1st place in fine dining in the nz metro restaurant awards a few years back.
