About me

I've been working as a private chef in Verbier for over 10 years now, cooking in chalets for guests from all corners of the globe, each with their own tastes, traditions and ways of eating. Some weeks I'm cooking for a family with young children, the next for a group of old friends on a ski trip, or colleagues enjoying their team-building trip. I love that variety: adapting a menu to suit exactly who's around the table, whether that means comforting family food, an elegant dinner party or big shareable plates for a group.

Food has been part of my life for a long time: in my previous life, I worked as an editor of cookbooks. Having also worked in chalet management in luxury ski chalets and summer villas, where I got to see — and taste — a huge amount of fabulous cooking, I now get to bring all my experience together to create memorable experiences for my clients.

I am British in origin, and I live year-round in the Val de Bagnes. I love Verbier and Switzerland deeply, and the mountains are a huge part of why: it's a spectacular place to be outdoors all year round. Skiing is a real passion of mine, especially backcountry and ski touring — there's nowhere I'd rather do it than here, and the fantastic hiking allows me to carry on exploring the mountains in summer too. Alongside that, I love to travel for food — seeking out new flavours and techniques wherever I go, and bringing them home to weave in alongside the wonderful seasonal, local produce we have in the Valais.
