This candidate is a versatile and experienced cook, having always had a love of food and cooking. She combines a creative instinct for ingredients with a healthy respect for the classics, whilst also keeping an eye on new culinary trends. She is inspired by many cuisines of the world, but leans towards Mediterranean with its fresh seasonal vegetables, olive oil, herbs and regional products which result in dishes which are alive with flavour. She loves the emphasis on making vegetables an exciting feature of a Mediterranean meal, if not the centre of it. She feels that cooking is alchemy – it’s about taking the most unassuming ingredients and turning them into something truly memorable. This magical transformation is what excites her!

This candidate is a really likable and easy going person who is passionate about food. She is a talented private chef who has worked for a number of catering companies on events of all sizes, from small intimate dinner parties to banquets and weddings for up to 500 people. She has also owned her own successful café for over three years, where she gained significant knowledge of budgeting and cost control. She has now stepped away from this, as she felt she had taken the business as far as it could go – the next step would have required significant investment, which she wasn’t quite ready for at this stage of her life. She is keen to work on a freelance basis, learning from new environments and client preferences. She loves the variety that comes with private catering, with the need to adapt menus and dishes to suit each client’s individual needs and preferences. She is considered to be a very competent family chef, who has an excellent understanding of how to conduct herself in a private family home.
