I love experimenting with different ingredients and flavours, as well as creating dishes around individual tastes and dietary needs. I’m also an aspiring children’s author, and as a mum, I’m always finding creative ways to make healthy food exciting — even for my toughest critic, my daughter! People often tell me my infectious laugh lights up a room, and I like to think I bring that same warmth and positive energy into every kitchen I work in. I’m calm, organised and adaptable, and genuinely enjoy making life a little easier through thoughtful, delicious food. When I’m not cooking, you’ll usually find me rollerblading, enjoying the occasional game of rugby or dreaming up my next recipe. 😌 I'm an experienced Head Chef and Private Chef with over 10 years of experience creating fresh, flavour-led food across private households, hospitality and specialist care settings. I enjoy cooking a wide variety of cuisines and creating personalised menus that reflect each client's tastes, lifestyle and dietary needs. For me, food is more than nourishment—it's my favourite form of expression. I believe every meal is an opportunity to bring people together, awaken the senses and leave someone feeling genuinely cared for. Whether preparing nutritious family meals, vibrant plant-based dishes or elegant private dining experiences, I take pride in creating food that is thoughtful, beautifully presented and full of flavour.

Food Handler’s Certification

I am an experienced family cook with a background in private households, specialising in fresh, nutritious, home-style cooking. I am confident preparing a variety of balanced meals for both adults and children, with a focus on flavour, simplicity, and quality ingredients. I am highly organised and comfortable managing a kitchen independently, including meal preparation, ingredient planning, and maintaining a clean environment. My experience working closely with families allows me to understand their preferences and create meals that support a calm, well-run household. I have worked with families who lean towards more healthy food and others who have preferred heartier, comfort food. Outside of work, I am always in the kitchen - As someone who is a voracious reader of cookbooks, I love to cook new cuisines and incorporate different ingredients such as grains, legumes and spices. Additionally my family owns an allotment, so fresh produce is very important to me and I take great pride in quality, tasty ingredients. Kind, creative, and patient nanny and family cook with over 10 years of experience caring for children and supporting family life. I enjoy preparing simple, wholesome meals and place a strong emphasis on health and wellbeing. I'm happy to adapt to different dietary requirements and international cuisine. I bring a calm, nurturing presence to the home, creating a steady daily rhythm that supports both children and parents. I have built strong, trusting relationships with the families I’ve worked with. Enhanced DBS checked. BA creative writing

Private/personal cook, Family cook

I’m a passionate and approachable personal chef with a deep love for seasonal, nourishing meals that bring comfort and joy to the table. With a background in plant-based and Mediterranean-inspired cooking, I enjoy creating vibrant dishes that are both healthy and satisfying. I’m originally from southern Italy and now based in London, where I bring a blend of heritage, creativity, and attention to detail into every dish. Whether it’s weeknight meals, special occasions, or tailored dietary needs, I work closely with clients to make food personal, enjoyable, and stress-free. When I’m not cooking, I enjoy exploring farmers’ markets, studying herbalism, and spending time in nature. I also have a soft spot for quiet rituals—brewing tea, journaling, and keeping things grounded in the everyday. Calm, respectful, and tidy in the kitchen, I thrive in peaceful households and love helping people reconnect with food that feels good. I trained in culinary school back in Italy and worked in restaurants for several years, gaining hands-on experience in professional kitchens. While I eventually transitioned into retail to step away from the fast-paced and often high-stress restaurant environment, my love for cooking never faded. Now, I’m pursuing a more personal and fulfilling path as a private chef. I find joy in preparing homemade focaccia, pizza, and flavourful vegetarian dishes always with an eye on seasonality and balance. Cooking for others is one of the ways I express care and creativity, and I’m excited to bring that energy into people’s homes.
