Bio

Chef Maya Borel discovered her love for food at just eight years old, watching her father cook at home in France. His influence sparked her dream of becoming a chef—a dream she pursued relentlessly through culinary school and years of hands-on global experience.

After completing three years of culinary training in France, Maya moved to Scotland, where she worked in a traditional French restaurant. There, she honed her skills before advancing to pastry training in a luxury five-star hotel and later joining the kitchen of a Michelin-starred restaurant—an experience she describes as life-changing.

Driven by her adventurous spirit, Maya continued her culinary path in Amsterdam, spending two years immersed in local cuisine before relocating to Melbourne. Now working as a Personal Chef in Melbourne, she brings a unique blend of European technique and global inspiration to every event.

As a Private Chef in Melbourne, Maya takes pride in crafting bespoke menus that highlight seasonal produce and stunning presentation. Her artistic approach to plating and attention to flavour create memorable experiences for every guest she serves.

Clients across Victoria seek her services as a Personal Chef for intimate dinners, private events, and creative culinary showcases. Maya thrives on the joy her food brings to others, and she believes that food is not just nourishment but an emotional connection.

Now well-established as a Personal Chef in Victoria, Maya channels her diverse background into each meal she prepares, combining the elegance of French cuisine with the vibrant character of her travels.
