Passionate chef turning simple ingredients into extraordinary, personalized dining experiences that celebrate flavor and creativity.

How they describe their cooking

I’m a chef and recipe developer from Brazil with a rich culinary background as a former Head Chef and restaurant owner. My journey has taken me across various countries, deeply influencing my contemporary cooking style. I delved into the world of vegetables and mastered the art of turning simple ingredients into extraordinary dishes. I'm continuously exploring and innovating with conventional ingredients, aiming to make people fall in love with flavors they might never have expected.

I’m passionate about creating fresh, seasonal food with a focus on grilled, fire, and smoky flavors. I believe in the power of contemporary cuisine to bring people together, and I cherish the joy of sharing memorable dining experiences. My approach is all about celebrating creativity and authenticity, making every meal a unique experience that fosters connection and enjoyment.

In their guests' words

A really memorable evening with Thais, her flavours were amazing and she’s a lovely person too! Would highly recommend-she nailed the brief given, was polite and great to have around the house-the aromas from the kitchen were fantastic, flavours and presentation were impeccable, and also great at tidying away etc. We’d love to have her again for the next occasion-thank you Thais!
