My passion for food is as strong as my passion for travel. Combining these two passions I hope to bring flavours from around the world into your home.

How they describe their cooking

I am a qualified chef with 12 years of experience, having worked in kitchens across Australia and around the world since the age of 15.

My cooking style is like a good party — smart and casual. I enjoy creating both shared-style and plated menus, drawing inspiration from a range of cuisines including Modern Australian, Asian fusion, and contemporary interpretations of Latin American food.

In their guests' words

Chef Jack was wonderful - it was our first time using this service and we were so happy with how it turned out. Jack was friendly, helpful in planning the menu, and happy to accommodate our request for extra desserts for the kids! He arrived punctually and took the time to get to know us as a family, talking to both the kids and adults while setting up everything in the kitchen. …
