What Sets Exquisite Private Chef Apart
Unlike outside catering companies that deliver pre-made buffets with minimal interaction and several dozen workers involved (think office workers, cooks, kitchen porters, flower person, warehouse staff to manage a wide selection of crockery, cutlery and hundreds of different size dishes), Exquisite Private Chef delivers true private dining: I cook live in your home, adapting on the spot to your kitchen and equipment, preferences, allergies, or moods for an immersive, restaurant-quality experience.
No rented chafing dishes or reheated trays; a lot of waste from overproduced prep from barely qualified cooking staff. Expect fresh, theatre-style preparation, cleared plates, and a spotless kitchen upon departure.
Furthermore, Exquisite Private Chef’s hands-on, health-centric approach blends fine dining artistry with functional nutrition, ensuring your event nourishes body, mind, and soul. We not only provide a gustatory experience but also ensure we meet every dietary requirement and preference. Cooking for health is our motto, with Olivier Sanchez, the Ambassador of Naturopathic Cuisine.
Do not worry if you want a full-on traditional roast with all the trimmings; we can do that, too, and it will be delicious, decadent, and exquisitely presented.

Following a consultation, I can propose menus tailored to your specifications, from a three-course meal to the most impressive tasting menu, whether you want to entertain family or friends, impress clients, or simply have the best romantic dinner in the comfort and intimacy of your own home.
I create meals using high-quality, local ingredients and exquisite dishes tailored to your specific dietary requirements (and those of your guests), including gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan options, to make your dinner simply perfect.
What’s more, I will make sure the kitchen is spotless by the time I leave. There will be nothing for you to do, and no kitchen-hangover in the morning.
Also, I follow appropriate behaviours to reduce waste, purchase locally and protect the environment.
Plus, if you choose a Dégustation Menu, a percentage of my personal fees is donated to a trusted Charity; therefore, you are also helping children and disabled people here in the UK.

Dinner Parties
A service customised to your needs and time
Depending on availability and the season, I will exclusively purchase locally sourced organic food with the best possible taste, including all the required ingredients for the lesson. Bringing into your kitchen expertise and passion in very easy-to-follow step-by-step recipes.
The recipes will be yours to keep, so you can recreate the dishes in the future. A picture of the plate will be taken and attached to the recipe to ensure the perfect presentation.
You will learn:
To cook, improve your skills, or perfect recipes, all in the comfort of your home.
To make full use of your utensils and have the opportunity to get the tools adapted to your needs at trade prices.
To enjoy cooking, and perhaps a little bit of culinary French vocabulary, so be ready to have fun.
I will guide you through every step, from holding a knife to sautéing vegetables, from filleting a fish to cooking meat to perfection, from mixing ingredients and flavours to tasting at every stage of preparation, until the dish is exquisitely presented and ready to eat.
During the lesson, you will learn some of the greatest chefs' secrets and the best ways to prepare quick and healthy meals for your entire family.
By understanding food, and without any regrets, you will learn to say goodbye to expensive take-away meals and junk food full of questionable additives: hydrogenated and saturated fat, chemically extracted low-grade industrial oils (Deep fry oil, bottled salad dressing, ready-made mayonnaise, so-called “olive oil”), refined sugars and salt, chemicals (MSG, flavouring, chemical E-numbers, solvent and pesticide residues...), not mentioning the poor hygiene standards of some premises.
As a result, you and your family will enjoy healthier, happier lives (food plays an undeniable role in mood and overall health) by eating nutritious, freshly prepared meals you make with minimal effort.
Once you are comfortable with cooking and familiar with ingredients, you can expect to prepare everyday menus in twenty-five minutes or less, for family, big or small, and you will no longer hesitate to host exquisite dinner parties.
Once you have impressed yourself with your cooking abilities, it will then be easier to impress others.
Plus, your family and guests will benefit from your expertise in cooking healthy meals and, most importantly, from family time.
Can you already imagine how rewarding it can be?
From experience, some people I have taught cooking lessons, men or women, were at first lacking confidence, but after only one lesson, they felt a lot more comfortable and ready to experiment with recipes they thought they would never even dare looking at, but the picture.
It is now time to take cooking to a healthier level.

Kitchen Design
You are looking to finally have the fitted kitchen of your dreams. You look at the plans, amazed with what is on offer, meeting with designers over and over again until you are pleased with the final design, trusting that they will build the perfect kitchen, just for you.
Over two decades of working in people’s homes, I have seen many different kitchens (though every single one was identical, with the same brown cupboard covers and blue glass splashback); however, the bigger the kitchen, the less functional it seems. Designers are more interested in making your kitchen look trendy and ‘expensive’, yet they pay little attention to practicality and to the most important function of a kitchen: cooking.
Every time I was brought forward to speak to designers, clients were amazed by my knowledge of kitchen planning, the time I had spent sourcing the best, most practical equipment for their budget, and how important a chef's point of view remains throughout.
“You do not buy items to fit your cupboards, you design your cupboards and work tops to fit your needs.”
