It’ very hard to say, I love so many different cuisines from around the world like Italian & Japanese however my heart will always be with French cuisine. Nothing compares with the sophistication, tradition and taste of real French dishes. I do love Making French Pastry & also Bakery as so much creativity is offered. Some of my other favourite dishes are listed below: Blanquette De Veau (A beef stew with a vegetable with a tiny creamy taste) = Every time I make this dish it takes me back to my childhood with my mum cooking in the cold winter months. Tarte Aux Pommes Normande (An apple tart originating from Normandy France that is flambéed with Calvados alcohol & topped with crème fresh) = I have my own take on this classic. I love making pastry in my spare time and putting a tiny modern twist to these great dishes.Cusines

I wanted to take a moment to extend my sincerest gratitude for the absolutely exquisite & divine private dining experience you provided to me at my home for my 70th Birthday celebration.Your culinary talents has left an indelible mark on my palate & the visual presentation was a pleasure to see together with the verbal explanation of every dish made, which just enhanced the taste & experience of eating the actual dish.
So it became a 3 fold sensory experience – taste, visually & verbally. So eating the dish became an unforgettable tri-fold event and experience. What you presented & made for me & my family was just mind-blowing.
The help & advice from Kelly – your partner with the décor, table setting & flow of the evening & ambience was superb!
But it was your culinary creations that truly stole the show. Each dish was a masterpiece, meticulously crafted with precision and passion. Your attention to detail was evident in every bite, and I found myself savoring each moment as the flavors danced on my taste buds.
The ingredients you selected were of the highest quality, and your skill in bringing them together was nothing short of remarkable. Each dish told a story, a narrative of your expertise and creativity. From the delicate balance of flavors to the stunning presentation, it was evident that you poured your heart and soul into every aspect of the meal.
Beyond the culinary delights, I must also commend you and your professional team for the impeccable service. The warmth and professionalism with which we were attended to throughout the evening added an extra layer of enjoyment to an already unforgettable experience.
In a world where exceptional dining experiences can be few and far between, what you created & delivered in my own home, are memories that will be cherished for years to come by myself, my family & friends who attended and for creating an event (I should say an experience) & memories that will be

What an experience! We were absolutely blown away and chef Laurent is magic – we consider ourselves to be big foodies and we have never had food as good as this before – still thinking about the chicken!!!! | Mine was the chargrilled chicken & my husbands was the prawns. However every single dish was perfection!Chef Laurent from CHEFIN created the menu and meals of our dreams for our recent wedding. The food was so fresh, perfectly cooked and so flavoursome and our guests and ourselves can not get over how perfect it was. Chef Laurent was on time and left the kitchen looking sparkly when he left. We cannot thank you enough for the food and the memories that you created for us and for your company, you felt like part of the family and we appreciate what you did for us! Highly recommend and hope to use CHEFIN and Chef Laurent again in the future!!

At the end of the night, they left the kitchen so clean, you would not have known anyone had been there. Thanks so much for making my wife’s 60th a memorable occasion.
