My passion for food started very early in life as I grew up watching my mother prepare delicious meals and became fascinated with sharing these experiences with others. This inspired me to develop my skills and enroll in cooking school. I received my diploma 17 years ago in Guerande (famous for the best salt in France). This experience taught me to work efficiently in challenging situations and proioritise tasks to manage heavy workloads. After graduation I began to travel in France to utilize my skills in various environments including as the Head Chef for a four star hotel for two years. My overseas travel has taken me to Australia and New Zealand among other locations and gave me the chance to learn cuisines and customs of other cultures. Throughout my carreer I have had many bookings as a private chef, which has enabled me to gain a better understanding of my customer and how to provide a unique experience for all clients. The intimacy of designing a personalized menu for people allows me to express my passion and create memories. Portugal has been my home for three years, where I have been working as a private chef in various locations around the Algarve.

For me, cooking is...

as my clients have frequently told me, putting love on the table.

I learned to cook at...

Guerande cooking school and in many internships, including a two star Michelin restaurant (Le Manoir De la Boulaie)

A cooking secret...

Chef Clement's reviews

We couldn't rate Clement higher. He cooked for 5 adults as part of a 60th birthday celebration at a villa in Portugal. The villa was quite difficult to find but despite this, he arrived on time, wasn't phased by the relatively small kitchen or the children running around before bedtime! We had some delicious appetizers whilst we waited for the meal which was out of this world. We had requested Greek cuisine - everything that was served was so tasty and cooked to perfection, including the pavlova for dessert. We wouldn't hesitate to use Clement again should we find ourselves back in Portugal and would happily recommend him to any friends or family. Thank you to Clement and his sister for an unforgettable experience.

Thanks Clemdelacreme for a lovely meal and experience. Super responsive and able to adapt the menu for a range of dietary requirements. Lovely service and thanks for fixing the sink (above and beyond the call of duty)!

Clement cooked twice for us in Carvoeiro (group of 16), one night based around seafood and a second around meat. The highlights were the turbot and truffled mash which was outstanding, the rich and soft slow roasted lamb with honey carrots & peanuts (which was also enormous), and the choc brownie with pecan ice cream. Clement was attentive, very easy to work with throughout and is an excellent chef. I would certainly recommend for any group looking for a special night in. Thanks Clement!

First time and didn’t know what to expect but this was a fantastic experience and we will definitely invite Clement back to cook for us again and recommend him to our friends.

Clement was a fantastic chef who produced a superb meal. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the experience and would definitely recommend Clement to others!

It was an amazing experience. The dishes were creative, of high quality and tasted great! They were both very polite and charming. Would definitely recommend!

Incredible experience - thank you so much Chef Clement!
