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.

Full-Time, Part-Time • Live-Out
My name is Morgan, a proficient culinary chef living in Lewisham. With four years of diverse experience, I have developed my craft in an array of cooking styles and cuisines ranging from Mexican, Indian, and British, to Italian, Middle Eastern, Japanese, and Thai. I'm also adept at creating vegan and vegetarian meals. I studied culinary arts at Ashburton Culinary School which propelled my journey into the fascinating world of food. Post-graduation, I undertook an apprenticeship at Annabels, which marked the start of my professional journey. I found my passion in catering as it provided me the opportunity to explore a wide range of cuisines along with an array of ingredients and techniques each day. My first catering stint trained me well in kitchen organisational skills and knowledge within a wide range of ingredients, techniques and cuisines. I was with this company for three years and become a junior sous chef. I then went travelling and through this have tasted the flavours of various cultures across Southeast Asia. In this time I also developed my breakfast and brunch knowledge as I worked as a high end breakfast chef. I am currently a Junior Sous Chef at a catering company that specialises in unique and high-quality picnics, corporate events, and more. My ultimate dream, however, is to become a private chef so I can delve deep into the world of creative, innovative, and flavoursome household meals. I view food as a luxury and always aim to craft meal experiences that not only fulfil nutritional goals, but also excite the senses and create lasting memories. Outside the scope of work, I'm passionate about physical activities and even run a food page on social media, sharing my love for cooking and inspiring people to get creative with their meals. I am available for work throughout the week and can adapt to both part-time and full-time schedules. Also, I am open to various job profiles, whether it's a private cook, a family cook, or cooking for childcare, school, or an event. My professional credentials include a Food Handler's Certification and a Culinary Arts Diploma. I am also skilled in supervising kitchen staff, menu planning considering the preferences of the employer, table setting, baking, product purchasing, dish cleaning, organizing food for events, and maintaining a clean kitchen. I pride myself on my knowledge of sanitary and hygiene standards as well as my professional plating skills. If you're looking for creative, joy-bringing food created with passion and professionalism, do reach out. I'm excited to add flavour to your lives! I have been a chef now for five years, working mostly in high end corporate catering where I have mainly been a junior sous chef, but also on many occasions acting head chef. I have run a few private events of my own but I am looking to work for myself and get into private cheffing, for couples, family’s or events I love food and I am always looking to develop and learn while providing flavourful, clean cut food. I think food is personal and it’s an absolute pleasure to provide a customer or client exactly what they want and enjoy when I cook.
