Happily, you have landed on the page of a Private Chef, based in Yorkshire. The first thing you should know it that food is my greatest passion.

We have to eat every day, so why not get as much joy as we possibly can from preparing and eating food?

If you are looking for someone to cook for you, help you cook the food you really enjoy, show a group of people the tricks of the trade or need support with your food business, you are in the right place. Based in the Yorkshire Dales, I travel all over the UK and the world, bringing joy to people the best way I know how - through food.

Welcome!

    Private Function Client

    The most delicious food imaginable! Michaela at With M created a selection of wonderful dishes for a big family celebration, which went down a storm. Her attention to detail and passion for her craft can only be described as 'love'. She puts everything into it and the results are spectacular dishes of food which are talked about for years afterwards. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
