Bespoke Home Cooking

A Caribbean table, set in your own home.

Whether it's an unforgettable evening with a private chef or an in-home cooking lesson, I bring the warmth, spice, and story of the Caribbean into your home. This is more than a meal — it's an evening built around flavour, heritage, and togetherness, cooked for you and the people you love.

The experience

Two ways to spend the evening.

The private dinner

I cook, you sit down

You don't lift a pot. I arrive with the spice already measured by memory, and cook through the evening in your kitchen — jerk marinating since morning, a curry gone soft and deep, rice and peas steaming under the lid. Courses come out one at a time, each with the story of where it's from.

The cooking lesson

We cook it together

For anyone who wants to learn by feel, not by formula. We stand at the counter and I show you the browning, the seasoning by taste, the little more thyme — the way it was taught to me. You'll leave knowing how to cook one dish properly, and eat what you made.

“A taste, a look, a little more thyme — and always a story of the islands while the pot got stirred.”

The evening

A little of what an evening looks like.

What's included

Everything but the washing up.

A sense of how an evening comes together. The finer points — courses, timings, and price — we settle once I know a little about your night.

Details confirmed on enquiry

  • A menu built around you

    We talk first — the occasion, the flavours you love, anyone who can't have this or that. Then I plan the courses.

  • Cooked in your own home

    I bring the pots, the spice, the browning. Your kitchen becomes the kitchen for the night.

  • Island flavours, plated with care

    The warmth of a Caribbean pot, served course by course — jerk, curry goat, rice and peas, or wherever the evening leads.

  • A story with every course

    Where the dish comes from, who taught it to me — the same stories that were told while the pot got stirred.

  • Left as we found it

    I cook, I serve, I clear. You sit at your own table and let the evening happen.

Tell me a little about your evening and I'll take it from there. I keep the number of nights small, so every table gets the whole of my attention.

5★★★★★HYGIENE

Cooked to a 5-star Food Hygiene Rating — the highest score our local council awards. The warmth is heritage; the standards aren't up for discussion.
