I'm a hands-on chef, offering honest, balanced flavours meals, bringing thoughtful cooking to private homes and gatherings.

I’m a professional chef with over 20 years of experience cooking for cafés, events, and private clients in Dublin. Now based in Cascais, I offer personalised meals and small event catering with a focus on fresh ingredients and simple, well-executed food. My background includes running busy kitchens, developing menus, and supporting food startups. These days, I work independently, bringing thoughtful, home-style service to private small events.

Fluent in English and Portuguese. Irish citizen. Now available for private chef bookings, one-off events, and collaborations in Cascais and surrounding areas.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

It is a quiet kind of hospitality, simple, warm, and thoughtful. It is a way to connect with people.

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook in real kitchens, under pressure, with hard lessons, and staying curious about what makes food honest and good.

A cooking secret...

It is prep, good "mise en place", and let the ingredients speak for themselves.
