Chef Romain Alinat
Private Chef In OxfordGet to know me better
Friendly, polite and professional chef with a passion for good simple mediterranean food.
As a private chef, Chef Romain' s approach to dinner parties is simple. He creates bespoke menus according to the client's tastes and requirements and finalise the details and arrangement with them closer to the date. He will arrive 2 hours prior to your guests arriving with some of the food already prepared in his professional kitchen. The food is then served at the table with a brief description of the dishes served.
About the chef:
Romain was born in the city of Marseille. He comes from a traditional french family background, his early years were spent in the heat of Provence in a small town near Cassis where old fashion cuisine quickly became inspirational through both his grandmothers. Hunting, fishing and foraging were common practices and the making of game terrine, preserves and jams a very cool affair.
He signed at the Culinary institute of Marseille in 1989 and qualified in 1996 with a degree in Culinary arts, having learned his skills at The Château de la Pioline in Aix-en-Provence.
The diversity of the independent restaurant scene in Oxford was perfect to fine tune his craft and it is in the new millenium that he decides to go alone as a private chef. A serious advocate of the Slow Food movement, Romain is sent to Turin to represent the UK and on his return develops a unique concept of catering: sourcing from organic and ethical farmers to provide catering on a small to medium scale.
Romain has been a private chef for more than 10 years and regularly travels and cook for clients nationally.
