Chef with over 10 years experience in sharing delicious, creative food. I grew up in a 4 star Agriturismo in Tuscany where my Nonna was the head chef and owner. I learned from her how to cook and especially how to understand the ingredients and how to use them intuitively.

I worked as a chef in the UK for 4 years and been a personal and private chef for the last 5 years.

I am currently also a chef for yoga retreats and various exciting pop ups and supper clubs on the island! I post stuff about this in my socials.

My passion is to teach and share the love for a colourful dinner table that is centered around vegetables.

For me, cooking is...

Making people happy, if I can help and make you smile over a tasty plate of food, with good company and a nice drink, then my job is done!

I learned to cook at...

I learned from La Foresteria in Italy and at the Palmerston in Edinburgh.

A cooking secret...

Keeping a clean and organised station. Having sharp knives and a good vibe, relaxed and focused.

Az was outstanding from inception to finish. Her passion and attention to detail around her food is outstanding. The evening couldn’t have been any better in celebrating my wife’s birthday and having engaged with Az about the type of food and menu I know we would enjoy Az delivered way beyond expectation. Az really stands out as an exceptional hostess really talented but so engaging warm and friendly and was superb company throughout our evening I would also add she plays her role just right engaging at the right time but let us soak up the evening and the joyous food. If you are looking to book please doo not hesitate to engage with Az she will provide an exceptional evening for you!

Azhara was amazing. So friendly and engaging, and her food was absolutely delicious. Beautifully presented, our only disappointment was that we couldn’t finish it all! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a special dining experience.

Az was warm and welcoming - it felt like we had known her forever - her food was insane, presented perfectly - we cannot wait to book her again and try some more food - would 100% recommend her

Our chef was brilliant and created and excellent relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely book again
