About me
I am a passionate and highly skilled chef with over 17 years of professional culinary experience, including extensive time working in high-pressure, luxury environments as a Private and Yacht Chef. My style is rooted in authenticity, precision, and creativity, with a deep understanding of global cuisines and a true specialisation in Caribbean cuisine—a reflection of both my heritage and culinary soul. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of cooking for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, private families, and discerning guests across the globe. My strength lies not only in my technical ability and flavour-driven approach but also in my ability to adapt quickly to the preferences, dietary needs, and ever-changing routines of my clients. From elegant plated dinners to family-style feasts, wellness-focused meals, or vibrant themed menus, I thrive on creating thoughtful, balanced, and memorable culinary experiences. I take a hands-on approach to every aspect of my work—from sourcing premium ingredients to managing kitchen operations with discipline and discretion. I value professionalism, organisation, and consistency, and I operate with a calm, confident presence in any setting. Food is deeply personal, and my goal as a chef is always to create dishes that not only nourish the body but bring joy, comfort, and a sense of home to every plate I serve.
