I can provide you and your guests with an amazing experience of a full flavoured fine cuisine, cooked with passion, for any occasion in your home.

You and your guests can just relax and enjoy and i will organise it all for you, providing a discreet and professional service.

Flavours, taste...

My focus is on flavours and taste. Dishes are carefully composed and harmonious. The natural flavours of produces are enhanced by combining textures and tastes, without over doing it.

I make sure i use the best produce, fresh and full of natural flavour. I like to work with seasonal ingredients, localy sourced as much as possible. The versatility of vegetables, fresh herbs and spices enables me to really enjoy creating vegetarian dishes. I also take care of any allergy or dietary requirement.

Plates are carefully and beautifully presented, without any fuss, simple and elegant.

When you have decided on the date of your diner or event, the number of guests, you can contact me by email: thecookingfrog@googlemail.com

We will then discuss the menu, and all the details of the event.

To give you an idea of my cuisine, have a look at the links on the right hand side " sample menus " and "my food". Note that these are just examples, i will send you more menu options when you get in touch and we will choose together the most appropriate to your event and your tastes!
