Chef Graeme Corlett

Chef At Home In Abbotsford

I am a high performing, creative, consistent, positive, and passionate Chef with over 10 years’ experience working within a diverse range of kitchens including French Michelin Guide, New Zealand fine dining, AA Rosette, 5 Star Hotel, Parisian Brasserie, Modern Gastro Pubs, Café’s, Catering, and Wine bars.

For me, cooking is...

A lifestyle of travelling Sydney, cooking inside peoples homes, sharing, creating, and eating food from different cultures with old and new friends.

I learned to cook at...

Several Parisian institutes - L'escargot Montroguiel, La Chammare Montmarte, and Fish la Boissonnerie to name just a few.

A cooking secret...

Use the equipment and products available to your advantage, fresh is best, and let the ingredients shine.

Graeme was fabulous and I highly recommend him. It was a last minute booking and Graeme could not have been more helpful especially with a couple of dietary requirements. Graeme was a pleasure to have in the home and we all had a fabulous night. We will definitely book again. Thank you

Chef Graeme did an amazing job making burgers as requested. I felt like he worked very hard to refine the menu to get it just right and everyone was amazed at the quality.

Professional and very well organized! The food was amazing, presented and executed really well.

We were given this as a gift for our 50th wedding anniversary! We had Graeme Corlett. It was a fantastic experience! We felt like we were in a 5 star restaurant in our own home! He was extremely polite and served every dish with an explanation. We had 6 courses and with each one the presentation was amazing. The kitchen was all cleaned at the end of the meal. It was a night to remember!

Graeme was a great first time inhouse chef experience, would definitely recommend.

Chef Graeme Corlett, is an incredibly kind individual that is very talented in his craft of cooking, he has a very unique style and taste that really brought all the flavours together, each course was stood out with its own distinct flavour and textures. The experience was brilliant as a whole. He is a must! He really made our 4 years that much more special.

Graeme came very well prepared. He was very friendly & professional as we initially chatted in preparation of our meal. He’d sourced his seafood fresh from Sydney Fish Markets on the day along with other fresh produce. He pre prepared the many extra delicacies & efficiently prepared and beautifully presented our courses. Every dish was delicious with thoughtful pairing of tastes which made each mouthful a new sensation of taste experience. Graeme was contingent with our needs throughout our meal. As the birthday girl & celebrating Mother I appreciated the extra touch of a sticky date cake for us to share with coffee We recommend Graeme for all events.

Graeme blew us away for our at home chef experience. He was very responsive with communications via the app and shaped our menu based on our input - knowing what was in season and not. He made homemade sourdough focaccia, some free ricotta tarts as a starter, prawns, fish & an absolutely Devine dessert creation. We really appreciated the thought he put into each dish and how he told us about the ingredients. The presentation was beautiful and he was very friendly to chat with. Bonus he cleaned up! It was such a great experience. We absolutely recommend Graeme for any event you need a talented chef! Thanks Graeme
