I'm a private chef and caterer based in Falmouth, Cornwall, creating bespoke private dining and catering experiences in holiday homes, private houses and venues throughout Cornwall.
I love to use seasonal, local ingredients, combining classical technique with bold flavours and generous, thoughtful cooking.
All my menus are tailor-made to suit your occasion, whether it's an intimate dinner, a family celebration or a larger event.
Get in touch and let's craft an amazing dining experience to remember.
Crafting Culinary Connections
Cooking has always been my way to communicate and bring people together. In 2023, I moved from London to Falmouth, Cornwall, looking for a life that felt closer to the land and sea, and where I could feel more connected to the incredible produce I cook with. That connection to seasonality and local ingredients continues to inspire everything I create.
I'm a Leiths-trained chef with a passion for creating memorable food experiences. My cooking is rooted in classical technique, but my style is relaxed, generous and all about flavour. I believe the very best meals don't need to be complicated; they simply need exceptional seasonal ingredients, cooked beautifully and shared with good company.
Over the years, I've written four cookery books, led the cookery school at Truro School as Head of Cookery, developed recipes, taught thousands of people to cook, and hosted my own popular supper clubs in Falmouth.
Every one of those experiences has shaped the way I cook today. Whether I'm preparing an intimate dinner in a holiday home, a celebration with family and friends, or a bespoke event for a larger group, my aim is always the same: to create restaurant-quality food that feels generous, relaxed and genuinely special. I love taking care of every detail so you can simply enjoy spending time with your guests.
My food is elegant without being fussy. Rather than cooking to impress, I cook to delight, letting beautiful seasonal ingredients shine through with bold, memorable flavours and thoughtful presentation.
If you're looking for a private chef or caterer who will bring warmth, professionalism and delicious food to your table, whether you're staying in a holiday home, hosting an intimate dinner or planning a party for 100 guests, I'd love to speak to you.
