Ellie is a British private chef with over a decade of culinary experience, dedicated to creating memorable dining experiences that celebrate flavour, health, and sustainability.

She began her culinary journey as a pastry chef in London, where her passion for the art of catering blossomed. At just 21, she had the incredible opportunity to work for the British Royal Family, honing her skills in an environment where precision and excellence were paramount, and sustainability and seasonality were of the utmost importance.

Now, she has found her home in beautiful Portugal, where she draws inspiration from the local produce and vibrant flavours of the region. She is passionate about nourishing not just the body but also the soul, and believes that great food should always be healthy and sustainable.
