Chef Lexton D'cunha
Private Chef In Dubai
Get to know me better
Citizen of the world, trained in cooking Italian and French. Enjoy cooking French, Pan-Asian and Mediterranean. I'm all about flavours and good times.
I am currently working at Quince Restaurant, Dubai as the Head chef and entering my 10th professional year. I challenge myself with different cuisines with respect to cultures and like to take it up a notch with my own experiences. For me it begins outside the kitchen with decency, respect and gratitude to the cooks and suppliers. Right after, I begin cooking.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
An unequivocal harmony of love, hospitality and finally the mere ingredients.
I learned to cook at...
At home where I donned the hat of breakfast chef. Fast forward 7 years later and I began my professional career with chef Angela Hartnett in London.
A cooking secret...
Cool and calm head. It's not rocket science, not that I would know, I'm just a chef ????
