Chef Chef Cobb

Personal Chef In Palm Harbor

I am a British Private Chef, who went to culinary school in Broadstairs, England. I was extremely fortunate to train under John Burton Race at his 2 Michelin Star restaurant 'The New Angel'. This would be a massive impact on my life as John Burton Race became a personal mentor and even my consultant Chef at "Harvey's of Ramsgate' - Where I achieved my AA Rosette.

Since being in America I have had the opportunity to play with a ton of new ingredients and different flavour profiles. I am never afraid to try something new and always enjoy putting a twist on cuisines.

For me, cooking is...

The most versatile way to bring people together - To admire and enjoy the experience that ignites the taste buds, with which results in desiring more.

I learned to cook at...

Home with my father Culinary School in England Under John Burton Race

A cooking secret...

Is to cook with feeling and listen to the ingredients.

We had an amazing experience with Chef Cobb! We wanted a low-key night in with friends but with delicious food and we had just that. He came in right on time, got straight to work prepping food and served us some amazing dishes! We all thought the food was incredible and Chef Cobb's demeanor was engaging and friendly but also extremely professional. The kitchen was spotless when they left- it was a great night and would definitely recommend!
