CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Jessica, you guys were FANTASTIC! The food, the presentation, the calm and friendly manner in which you operate and the willingness to get stuck in and help wherever you can was noted by all of our guests! Some of our guests said it’s the best catered food they have had! So.... a BIG THANK YOU from all of us!!! - C. Rademeyer
Thank you so much Jessica, we had a great evening and food was fantastic. Would highly recommend you! K. Prest
Jessica is a skilled chef, her food (we had confit duck) was delicious and I would not hesitate to recommend her. Jessica left the kitchen spotless and I really appreciated being able to enjoy my day without having to shop, prepare, cook, serve, and wash up! Huge thank you, Jessica! - Susan Ashbourne
ABOUT JESSICA
I have always been excited about food and loved sharing my cooking with those closest to me. 10 years ago I decided to turn this passion into a career by training at Tante Marie Culinary Academy. Since then I’ve worked in commercial kitchens, as a private chef and a cookery teacher. I've also catered for high net-worth clients on yachts and in villas across the world.
I'm a creative and imaginative chef, obsessed with all things delicious, and always on the hunt for weird and wonderful ingredients to create new dishes. I love seasonal and local produce and I feel very strongly about reducing food waste, so you won't find any extra veg trimmings in the kitchen - everything is getting used! I grew up in South Africa and I've travelled extensively, so I try and bring these influences into my cooking. Expect beautifully simple food, big on flavour.
Good food is a wonderful thing. It has the power to lift spirits, get a conversation going and truly make an event special.
Creating bespoke menus is something I love to do, and it gives me a chance to personalise your meal based on seasonality and things that you love to eat.
So, whether you’re planning a special dinner for your partner or a summer party for your friends, let me take care of the cooking and help you organise something really special.
