I have been a professional chef for 10 years. I studied Culinary Arts in DIT and that's where I got my BA. I worked in small a family run restaurant at the start of my career to learn the basics of cheffing. I then went international and got some great experience in a fabulous San Diego Bakery, Sugar & Scribe. I moved onto working in a healthy food restaurant in Dublin and worked my way up to head chef. Wholesome healthy food packed with flavour was our goal and it was an amazing place. I specialised as a Pastry Chef after this, where I have been honing my skills with the best in Le Patissier in Dublin, a pastry production kitchen, catering to lots of high end hotels and restaurants as well as some very big corporate gigs and weddings. At the same time, I had my own business making and designing wedding cakes/occasion cakes which was proved to be very popular among customers.

My favourite way to present food, is in a sharing style. It allows guests to interact and fully enjoy the food together.

For me, cooking is...

Transcending. It translates across every language and culture. Food is a representation of love and history, and the sharing of food is a joyous thing

I learned to cook at...

Dublin Institute of Technology , my BA Culinary Arts and from everyone I've ever worked alongside

A cooking secret...

1. There is always time to cook. 2. Always freeze your Parmesan rinds, add them to pasta sauces for a flavour bomb. 3. Balsamic in your bolognese...

Chef Stephanie's reviews

Stephanie is an incredible chef, her food was fresh, well presented and so so tasty. Stephanie was great at communicating before the booking with menu ideas and more than happy to make any changes for dietary requirements etc, though we didn't need any as we loved her menu proposal. Stephanie on the day was friendly to all of our family and was flexible when the kids weren't quite playing ball with bedtimes. She delivered the most delicious food, even better than it all sounded on the menu! She left the kitchen spotless too and the pricing was more than reasonable. Would definitely recommend and will definitely have Stephanie back again for our next celebration.
