I’m Daniella, originally from South Africa, and I’ve been living in London for the past nine years. I have a deep passion for cooking, health, and wellness, which has shaped my career and lifestyle. I’m also a mom to a wonderful 5-year-old girl, who keeps me on my toes and brings so much joy to my life. In my free time, I love staying active, whether it’s working out, hiking, or exploring new food markets and restaurants. I’m a big foodie and always on the lookout for exciting flavors and culinary experiences. I also enjoy movies and traveling—Greece holds a special place in my heart, and I visit often to spend time with my mom. Right now, I’m in the process of transitioning into a private chef role, combining my expertise in nutrition and cooking to create personalized meals for individuals and families. I’m excited about this next chapter and the opportunity to share my passion for healthy, delicious food with others. I’m an experienced chef with a background in hospitality, and I specialize in creating nutritious, flavorful recipes tailored to specific dietary needs. With qualifications in health coaching, personal training, and nutrition coaching, I bring a holistic approach to food and wellness. After years of working in professional kitchens and personal projects, I’m now transitioning into a private chef role. I’m looking for opportunities to cook for individuals or families, either from my own kitchen or in their homes, providing high-quality, personalized meals that align with their tastes and nutritional goals.

Kensington and Chelsea, UK ʉۢ 5 km away
Part-Time • Live-Out
I am 25 years old and have been cooking now for 5 years. I take a particular interest in cooking healthy, nutritious and delicious food. I really believe that what we eat plays a huge impact in our moods, energy, how we sleep and think it is so important to fuel our bodies properly. It is my mission to prove that eating healthily is not boring and even more delicious than the ultra processed foods out there. I firmly believe that life is all about balance. I take a lot of inspiration for the food I cook from my travels. I lived in Los Angeles where there was a big focus on fresh high quality produce and a big South American influence. My dad lives in Thailand and so I have spent a lot of time eating my way around Asia and bringing all that I have learnt back home to the kitchen with me! I particularly enjoy cooking Mediterranean cuisine too after a lot of summers spent there. I love getting to know what my clients enjoy and perfecting there favourite meals for all the family to enjoy. I have been a chef now for 5 years. I have worked in restaurants in London and Los Angeles, as well as catering companies cooking for thousands of people. However more recently in the past 3 years I have become a private chef. I much prefer a more personal approach to cooking where I learn what my clients love and enjoy the most. I have worked full time in households as well as meal prepping for families and individuals. I have found joy in creating well-balanced meals that prioritise both flavour and health. I want the food I create to not only taste good but to make you feel good and fuel your bodies for the day ahead.
