Why We Do What We Do

We are passionately dedicated to delivering truly memorable food experiences here at Chef Jay - here’s why.

​

My family sparked my initial love for cooking. My Nan in particular ensured I knew how to recreate all of the Jamaican classics from slow-cooked, melt-in-the-mouth Curry Goat, to Escovitch Fish and everything in-between. Over many years, I learned about balancing spice, good technique and cooking with love and confidence.

​

Being half-Ghanaian, I learned the ways we pack maximum flavour into stews, beans, maizes, and swallows across West-African cuisine, creating tasty ways to use as much of a meat or fish as possible.

​

Living in Barcelona and travels to Italy allowed us to indulge in tapas and pasta (for research purposes…). Attending family-style functions with local friends were first-hand experiences of what we ALL love about Spanish & Italian food: traditional, let-the-food-do-its-thing, love-infused cooking. Ragu? Yes please.

​

Authentic Cantonese, Indian, Thai & Vietnamese dishes are scattered throughout my experiences of enjoying, studying and cooking food. Endless variations of rice, egg and wheat noodles, crispy juicy meat, wok-graced seafood, dim sum, and curries.

Travels to Thailand further enhanced how we bring these through for our Clients.

​

All of the above, a spontaneous, incredibly fun (and proud) run on Masterchef 2022, endless explorations of restaurants, and travels to Asia and Europe underpin why we do what we do: a promise to deliver an experience, creating flavorsome, thoughtfully presented dishes, ensuring seemless consultation-to-event, showcasing something that truly brings every single corner of the World together - incredible, food.

Life’s milestones are important so ensure you have the food to match.
