Private Chef | Cooking Classes | Retreats & Residencies
Rooted in seasonal produce, inspired by Mediterranean & Middle Eastern flavours.

Hi, I’m Emily. I cook food that brings people together.

I'm a private chef based in London, passionate about creating vibrant, seasonal dishes inspired by the Mediterranean and Middle East. Whether it's an intimate dinner, a hands-on class, or a week-long retreat, my focus is on nourishing both body and soul through food.

I believe in the power of shared meals to foster connection and celebrate community. Each dish I prepare tells a story, rooted in tradition and crafted with care.

Client Testimonials

  • Before I started cooking with Emily, I felt totally overwhelmed in the kitchen. Now, I actually enjoy cooking for myself — I’ve learned simple, delicious recipes and the confidence to improvise too. She made everything feel easy and stress-free.

    Tania, 1-1 Cooking Student

  • Emily was super professional and made the most delicious vegetarian meal (40+ people) for my daughter's 18th dinner. The dishes were original, tasty and beautifully presented. The whole process of working with Emily was seamless, stress-free and fun. I highly recommend her.

    Susan, Private Dining Client

  • Emily’s supper club was one of the most special evenings I’ve had in ages — the food was vibrant and generous, and the atmosphere felt like sitting around a friend’s table (if your friend happens to be an incredible chef). I came not knowing anyone and left full, happy, and with new friends.

    Jack, Supper Club Attendee

  • I don’t know what was better, Emily’s cooking or Emily herself! We will 100% be using her for all future events. Special shoutout to her aubergine involtini — none left by the end of the night!!
