Get to know me better

Ex-Ottolenghi head chef with 15 years of experience in kitchens and running food businesses.

I am a professional head chef with 15 years experience in the industry. I am largely self taught and have learnt most of what i know through my own passion for cooking. I have experience in a large array of different cuisines and styles of cookery and have had a broad and varied career. From working as head chef at Ottolenghi and private members club, The ministry to running my own catering company and cooking for 1000's through a refugee charity.

My particular expertise lye in vegetarian and plant based cookery but I'm also extensively trained in meat and fish so can cater for anyone. I'm always flexible with creativity and happy to cater to any dietary requirements.

My preferred style of service is family style meals or buffets but happy to accommodate more formal dinning too.
