Chef Benjamin Mclellan

I have over 12 years of experience cooking professionally across multiple different countries. My background includes a broad spectrum of fine dining with an emphasis on healthy dishes, which include vegan/vegetarian/pescatarian/keto diets. My style portrays a lot of European techniques, incorporated with ethnic spices and flavours. Cooking with produce and proteins from the local region is what I strive for. I have a large garden at home, which inspires me to write menus based on what I have available.

I have cooked in three different wine regions around the world, one in California, one in Australia and one in New Zealand. Most recently, I have been working aboard super yachts as a sole chef, where I have developed my own menus and creations. Super yacht experience has granted me the ability to curate specific menus based on guests preferences. So, if you would like a menu specific to your taste, let me know and I will write one specifically for you and your palate. I can also be commissioned for cakes, tarts, and petit gateaus for your parties or events.
