The Chef
Your Event, My Passion
I grew up in two households of culinary enthusiasts, both on my mum's side and my dad's side. I started helping out in the kitchen from a very young age, and started cooking for myself and my family in my early teens. I also had the good fortune to travel the world and try many different cuisines.
Cooking has always been my biggest passion. Preparing food for people and seeing the pleasure it brings them is what brings me the most joy, and being able to do it for a living is a dream come true.
After finishing university and working in a corporate environment for a number of years, it really hit home for me that I would be at my happiest if I pursued my culinary dream.
With this in mind, and wanting to keep the personal touch, I decided to start up as a private chef, so I can turn my passion and enthusiasm into delicious food at your home and your event, whether that be a date night, dinner party, birthday or stag/hen do, i'll make it an evening to remember.
The Food
Local, Seasonal, Elevated
From the outset, using locally sourced, seasonal food and supporting local businesses wherever possible was hugely important for me.
All of my meat is supplied by my local Butcher's, the award winning Smith & Clay, and my fish is sourced weekly from a local fishmonger.
Wherever possible, all of my fresh produce comes from local farmers' markets or my mum's farm garden, with many of my herbs grown in my own garden.
The Experience
Fine dining in your own home
The process is simple. A deposit is paid to make your reservation, which is refundable up to 48 hours in advance if you need to cancel for any reason. You let me know your requirements and which dishes you wish to be prepared.
From this point on, all you need do is require a clean and clear working area in your kitchen, and I will do the rest. I provide all of the tableware, cookware, cutlery and cleaning supplies, and after you have enjoyed your dining experience, I will leave your kitchen as I found it, with no mess for you to clean up.
The Kitchen
Restaurant Standard
All of my food is prepared in my purpose-built prep kitchen at my own home with brand new Neff appliances & restaurant standard cleaning equipment.
