Bio

Growing up in a family-owned bakery, Lisa Nguyen found her first inspirations in the kitchen alongside her father and grandmother. While she trained as a dentist, her heart always remained in hospitality—serving drinks and food by night and fixing smiles by day. Today, she channels that duality into her work as a Personal Chef in Adelaide.

Lisa’s unexpected journey into cooking began behind the scenes, helping with simple tasks in a busy kitchen. But what started as a helping hand soon turned into a calling. Her skills quickly developed through mentorship, hands-on experience, and relentless curiosity. She still remembers the lessons learned under pressure—especially being asked to make a cheesecake six times until it was perfect.

Now established as a Private Chef in Adelaide, Lisa thrives on kitchen banter, creative freedom, and the satisfaction of feeding happy customers. She brings a relaxed, vibrant energy to every service, rooted in humility and a deep appreciation for every dish she crafts.

Clients across South Australia praise her as a Personal Chef who can deliver food that feels both home-cooked and restaurant-quality. Her unique background allows her to create menus that are personal, thoughtful, and infused with the flavours of her culture.

Lisa views every meal as an opportunity to share her heritage. As a Personal Chef in South Australia, she fuses Vietnamese and Chinese influences with modern techniques, creating dishes that are rich in memory and meaning.

Her dream of one day opening her own restaurant continues to fuel her drive. Until then, she pours her passion into every experience as a Private Chef in Adelaide—making diners smile through food, just like her family always did.
