Private Chef
About Me
I’m Phoebe, a private chef and food writer based in London, and I believe there is no better way to make someone happy than through food.
​​
I’m a champion of seasonal food, allowing what is growing at that time of year to inform what I cook and eat. This means the produce I use is always at its most flavourful, colourful, and nutritious, which has a huge impact on the final dish. For me, good food starts with good ingredients.
​
I spent a year working on an organic farm in the Cotswolds where I learned about food from the ground up - an experience that shaped the way I cook today: with respect for produce, the seasons, and the people who grow our food.​ Later, my time at the River Café taught me the importance of provenance and simplicity. I learned that truly good food rarely needs to be overcomplicated - when the ingredients are excellent, the best thing you can do is let them shine.​
​
Today, I create produce-led menus that celebrate the seasons and bring people together around the table. My food is vibrant, colourful and generous; unfussy dishes that make an impact and make an occasion feel special. Above all, I love cooking food that feels joyful: simple, bountiful, and full of life.
Services
Whether an intimate dinner celebrating your friend’s 30th, nibbles for your office summer party, or perhaps you’re super busy at work and just need someone to prepare your meals for the week, I’d love to cook for you - whatever the occasion.
