Wandsworth, UK  • 7 km away
Full-Time, Part-Time • Live-Out
I am Marcus, a Le Cordon Bleu trained chef with experience in high end restaurants and recipe development for one of the countries leading food box companies in my 10 year career. I would say my speciality is Modern European food dishes that are familiar but with a fun or exotic twist to them. Nevertheless, I have always tried every cuisine tasked to me and have a good amount of experience in my career catering for many of them. Cuisines I have cooked before include: British, European (all areas, but especially Mediterranean, Spanish, Italian, French, Greek, German, Scandinavian), Japanese, Korean, South American, Chinese, American. On top of this, if there is a cuisine you would prefer or like to try I am always more then willing to learn and develop recipes - there's nothing better for a chef then to build out your cuisine knowledge. Since last year I have ran a supper club in my spare time serving up a 4-course menu to 30+ guests each time and since the end of last year I have become a private chef, catering for private dinner parties, hen dos and events, to gain experience. On the side of these events, which are usually booked on weekends, I am looking for a permanent full-time/part-time private chef position during the week where I can support a family house hold in meal prep or meal service. During my time as a recipe developer at Gousto, I have extensive expertise in creating comfort food favourable with all generations of the family, having worked on their Everyday Favourites and Family Kitchen ranges. I also have a deep knowledge of catering for all dietary and allergen requirements and am fully proficient in vegetarian, vegan and healthy, well-balanced cookery. I see every restriction as a creative opportunity – not a limitation. I'm a personable, efficient and practical professional, who builds strong relationships with clients, ensuring clear communication and a seamless dining experience. I bring strong organisational and leadership skills, managing multiple menus and preferences with ease while maintaining the highest standards of quality and food safety in the kitchen. I am a single man in my late twenties and my hobbies include; food (obviously!), sport, music, guitar, cycling, hiking and running. I obtain a clean drivers license with access to a vehicle and am willing to travel if required. Every menu is personal. Whether you’re looking for seamless household meal prep or an unforgettable dinner party, I work closely with you to create food that fits your lifestyle, tastes, and occasion. I’m just as happy to take the lead as I am to collaborate, ensuring every detail reflects your vision and needs. With regard to presence, I am able to adjust my level of engagement as needed. If you're looking for someone fresh to the private chef world but with a vast amount of experience then I would love to be considered for your role. As much as I'm looking to gain experience as a private chef, there is no better feeling as a chef then making people happy with the dishes and recipes you create so that's my main goal for my future client. I look forward to working with you soon. I am a Le Cordon Bleu trained chef and I have spent the last 10 years working in high end restaurants as well as a 4 year career at Gousto as a Senior Recipe Developer. I have run my own supper club for the past year catering to guests of 30+ and most recently have gained experience as a private chef by catering for private functions such as dinner parties, hen dos and parties.

Lambeth, UK  • 8 km away
Full-Time, Part-Time • Live-Out
My name is Carlotta. I am 39 years old. I started cooking when I was 12 and have always loved cooking, striving to improve my skills. I moved to London 9 years ago and began working in pubs, eventually transitioning to households as a nanny and cook housekeeper. In these roles, I developed skills in cooking for families, preparing ad hoc menus, and snacks for them and their guests. However, I felt this wasn't enough, so I decided to enroll in the nutritional therapist course at CNM London. This 3-year course in nutrition has helped me understand the link between food and health, and how a healthy and balanced diet can prevent and improve illnesses. I would be happy to work with families to create healthy menus for them and their guests. My name is Carlotta. I am a nutritionist and private chef with over 9 years of experience cooking in private households. I am passionate about health and cooking nourishing dishes. I am a discreet, down-to-earth, and flexible person. I will be ready to start a new role on September 25th. Nutritional therapist diploma
