Beautiful ingredients, simply treated,
and meals designed to feel quietly memorable.

A quiet nod to Australiana — grilled banana prawns finished with sea urchin butter.

Shared tables, generous plates, and food that’s meant to move — this is always where I feel most at home.
Menus like this aren’t about courses, they’re about rhythm… a little of this, a little of that, passed around, discovered together.

My mother's recipe. Lumpiang hubad — literally “nude spring rolls” — with sautéed prawn and palm heart, served with crisp lettuce leaves for rolling and a sweet garlic and peanut sauce. A hands-on favourite.

Fresh juices have long been part of a broader “mindful indulgence” approach I’ve carried through resort kitchens from the Caribbean to Fiji.

Healthy, fresh, seasonal, and always a highlight of the morning service.

Remembering my time cooking at Falcon’s Nest on Peter Island, British Virgin Islands — an extraordinary private residence in the Caribbean.
Great to see the island open again after its long closure.

Over the past few years my work has moved more towards private chef engagements and consulting, cooking for guests in villas, estates, and remote properties, as well as supporting selected hospitality projects.

I’ve recently launched a website that brings this work together and gives a clearer picture of the direction I’m focusing on now.

Most of these roles have come through long-term relationships and referrals, and I’m grateful to the many guests, colleagues, and clients I’ve had the chance to work with over the years.
