People who love to eat are always the best people.

A Creative Collage of Flavors

Image alt description

I create menus like collages, layering flavours from my travels into fresh, organic dishes. After 15 years in kitchens and catering, I craft tailored fine‑dining, market tours and cooking classes for every guest.

I first trained at Kingscliff TAFE, then adapted quickly at The Bay Retreats where every client had unique dietary needs. Continuous learning keeps my plates vibrant and health‑conscious.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Australia?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 144 AUD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialise in?

I cook French, Mediterranean, Local, Japanese, Seafood/Fish, Italian, Fusion and Chef's special. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavour is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in Australia?

To book me in Australia, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering and Romantic night. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
