I’m a professional chef originally from Brighton, UK, with over 15 years in the industry. I began my career in London, then cooked in France where I refined my craft before moving to Australia.

In recent years, I’ve been cooking in Melbourne and Byron Bay, leading seasonal-driven restaurants and wine bars. I’d love to share my carefully curated menus with you for an unforgettable at-home experience.
