Hello, I am a classically French trained chef and I teach people to cook the recipes I love to cook, to enjoy the process and not to panic in the kitchen. My experience as a chef working in some of the Melbourne and Europe's best professional kitchens under the most talented, passionate and humble chefs has made me the chef I am and allows me to help you become a better and more confident cook. The food I love to cook is French cuisine with a modern influence, elegant Italian cookery and Australian cuisine, introducing native ingredients. Seasonal, sustainable and fresh ingredients is an absolute must in my kitchen, which my kitchen garden plays a huge role in as does my local Mornington Peninsula suppliers and producers. We have a few precious things in our life that give us pleasure and enjoyment and cooking and eating food does just that. This is why I invite you to cook with me in my kitchen and to enjoy a magnificent 3 course meal at my table. Book your experience, Chef Jacqui
