Private Chef & Premium Catering Services In Melbourne
My cuisine highlights the best of locally sourced and seasonal products.
I am inspired by the markets and the flavours experienced in my travels through Europe, The Middle East and South East Asia which I translate into my cooking.
Whether you are hosting a large gathering at a venue or an intimate dinner in the comfort of your own home, I will amaze your guests with a unique combination of flavours and creativity.
I offer an individualised dining experience with a refined taste, and a personal touch of Mediterranean flair. I am constantly looking at different ways to modernise my menu’s with herbs, spices, and native ingredients.
By entrusting me to take care of all the preparation, cooking, and cleaning, you can truly take the stress out of entertaining and enjoy quality time with your loved ones.
Mornington Peninsula, Great Ocean Road, Yarra Ranges & Beyond
I cater for a large array of events Including; retreats, dinner parties, private birthday celebrations, corporate events, hens parties, elopements, and weddings.
I work directly with you to create a tailored menu to the type of event you are hosting and discuss any dietary requirements. Once we have established the number of courses and guests, I will send you a quote and a copy of the menu for your approval.
Prior to your event I will shop at local farmers markets to source the freshest seasonal ingredients. I am deeply engaged with an ongoing exploration of good, simple food.
As we go through the courses during the event, I will explain about the ingredients used and where they have been sourced from.
At the end of the event I will leave the kitchen in it’s original condition, while you and your guests don’t have to lift a finger.
