Private Chef Sean Demaine

I am a friendly, flexible and passionate chef with a wealth of experience in many sectors, having worked in top hotels, gastro pubs, restaurants and for private clients

I aim to bring outstanding dishes to your home, or air BnB residence,

I had a classical French training, back in the day, but have changed with the times and like to cook modern day cuisine underpinned by classical techniques, im at home using sous vide or traditional pan work, and have a strong intrest in patisserie and Asian food

For me, cooking is...

A way of life, its just great to earn a living from something that i really enjoy

I learned to cook at...

I first started cooking at my local pub, before going to cluinary school full time

A cooking secret...

less is more, don't over complicate things, let good ingredients speak for themselves
