I've spent the better part of 15 years cooking for people who expect a lot - on superyachts, at private events, in safari lodges, and for families in London who want good food without the stress of making it. I'm South African, which means I grew up with big, generous cooking at the centre of everything, and that's never really left me. I'm Food Safety Level 2 certified, I've developed recipes professionally (including for a celebrity cookbook), and I've managed kitchens under real pressure - in high-expectation environments where the margin for error is zero. What I bring to a family kitchen is that same reliability and care, without the formality. I cook real food, I leave the kitchen clean, I am great in family environments and I'm easy to have around.

I have worked in luxury hospitality for many, many years, and I have worked privately for very small events and for families. I am constantly cooking for other people, and I would love to help you and your family with delicious food!
