Get to know me better

I’m a Leiths-trained chef who reimagines family rituals through abundant Middle Eastern flavours, seasonal cooking and the joy of feeding people well.

I’m a Leiths-trained private chef working across London and Lisbon, with a Level 2 qualification in Nutrition & Health and extensive experience catering private dinners, corporate events and in-home services. My food leans Middle Eastern and seasonal, rooted in slow cooking, vibrant salads and richly flavoured condiments. I approach cooking as both nourishment and connection, creating warm, generous dining experiences that feel intentional but never fussy.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

...a way of taking care of people! For me, cooking is nourishment in every sense, food that tastes good and brings people closer.

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook at Leiths School of Food & Wine, then properly sharpened my skills in private kitchens, brand events and the everyday.

A cooking secret...

My secret in the kitchen is layering flavour - acids, heat, herbs, and a few homemade condiments that quietly do most of the heavy lifting.
