Chef Celine Issitt

Private Chef In Poullignac

I am originally from London but been living and cooking in SW France for the last 12 years.

I speak fluent English and French and travel frequently to cook all over Europe and even as far as Dubai.

I also love giving cookery lessons, if you want to learn how to make your very own ravioli, then I’d be happy to spend time showing you all the secrets to perfecting them at home to dazzle your friends.

For me, cooking is...

My passion and I try to recreate food memories with my cooking

I learned to cook at...

My Italian grandmother taught me to cook from the age of 7

A cooking secret...

Is taking inspiration from many types of cuisine but I love taking old traditional French recipes and update them.

Celine was wonderful! The food was delicious and she was so attentive and accommodated extra people last minute and was really careful with allergies and overall it was a delicious dinner - thank you so much! Would thoroughly recommend

We ( nine of us) all thoroughly enjoyed the meal we were cooked by Celine. She gave us a huge choice of starters mains and desserts to choose from narrowed down to a choice of 2/3 She was very accommodating with one of number who was extremely limited to dietary requirements. We would wholeheartedly recommend her

Céline est très gentille, j’ai été ravie de la prestation !

Chef Céline was a pleasure to work with. We organized a wine tasting and she created a menu to pair with the wines. She worked very independently and served us with joy in doing her job. It was easy to communicate with her before and during the evening. The only small thing we didn’t fully enjoy, were the potatoes she prepared as a side dish. But maybe we as dutch had high standards for the potatoes ;) In general, we would definitely reccomend chef Céline! It was a pleasure to work with her.

Celine was the perfect mix between being attentive and discreet.She helped make our celebratory dinner extra special and memorable. The food was delicious, fresh, regional and used her expert knowledge. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Celine was absolutely incredible. She was efficient and very helpful with the menu. She provided such stellar service and left the place in amazing shape. Our group was beyond thrilled and absolutely over the moon with the food, service, and presentation. We would absolutely book with Celine again.
