About Me

I’m Chelsea, an ex-product marketing professional, turned chalet host, turned chef. After 5 years of office life, I took the leap, trading in my 9-5 for a winter ski season, and it was there my love of cooking and hosting flourished! From catering to guests in a luxury chalet apartment in Val d’Isère for 5 months, to teaching cookery classes and assisting well-known chefs at a heritage cookery school in the heart of London, I strive to make my clients’ and guests’ food memories ones to remember.

SW London based, very happy to travel.

The important stuff: I am food hygiene level 2 and allergen awareness certified, first aid trained and hold a clean UK driving license. I’m London based, but happy to travel.
