Chef Kevin Kumi

Chef At Home In Brampton

I’m new In Canada having being in the country for just over 2 years . I’ve been a chef for the past 13 years spending time at high end restaurants and also one of the best restaurants in London. (Chapter one)

I’ve also travelled across Europe hosting major events and weddings with my previous group (Rhubarb good design)

I’ve also cooked for celebrities, head of states and also for the royal family of England as part of the culinary team where we occasionally cook for their private dinners and other events .

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is my passion, hobby and lifestyle . Food is a universal language spoken by all

I learned to cook at...

I spent 8 years at three Michelin starred restaurants( chapter one, Gavin at the windows, Angler and 5 at Rhubarb food designs in London, England

A cooking secret...

Treating the ingredients with care and trying new techniques and methods with them

Booking Kevin to be the private chef for my husbands birthday dinner was the best decision I could’ve made. Not only was it a great and unique surprise for my husband but we enjoyed the overall experience so much and to top it off, Kevin was so professional, polite and just amazing company overall. Every single meal was made with so much love and was absolutely delicious and well presented. I have young kids who are picky eaters and even they managed to finish and actually enjoy their meal. Kevin also left my kitchen cleaner then it was before. You won’t regret booking with Kevin, he’s incredible.
