For the last 12 years she has worked as a freelance private chef working across the globe for an array of high-profile clients. 

“One of my favourite parts of being a private chef is having the opportunity to go out and meet producers and find incredible produce to bring to my client’s table wherever I may be.  I absolutely love travelling across the world and discovering different markets and exciting ingredients but every time I’m home in the UK I’m struck by the pride and joy I feel at seeing the exceptional quality and diversity of our own food scene and know it’s the among the best, if not the best, in the world.”
