About The Chef
I am a local private chef, food writer and recipe developer.
Having garnered most of my cheffing experience internationally in London, working for some of the most esteemed restaurant groups, my food style has been influenced by travel as well as being passionate about local ingredients and our extensive food history as a country,
These inspirations have combined to create a distinct style of sunshine food, a food style that reflects our beautiful country. I strive to create a unique dining experience with attention to detail and most importantly flavour. Meeting new guests is always a pleasure and providing a service that creates fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere is of utmost important for any private cheffing event I do.
