Private Chefs

Our PRIVATE CHEFS

Our private chefs have all the ingredients for delivering a seriously delicious gourmet meal. But more than that, they’ve got the spirit, passion, and imagination to provide a culinary experience that’s truly unique.

We think it’s unfair to keep highly creative, dedicated, and driven chefs in the kitchen at the back of a restaurant. They should be at the forefront, unleashing their culinary creativity and personally serving and sharing each meal they’ve created. And that’s what each of our personal chefs does.

OUR PRIVATE CHEF TEAM

Hailing from top restaurants both in Australia around the world, each of our private chefs has been handpicked for their dedication, talents, and culinary wizardry. They’re passionate about quality cooking, technique, and providing incredible service. They’re dedicated to sourcing premium ingredients, cooking with love and soul, and making eating a time to connect.

There’s no culinary challenge our premium personal chefs can’t handle. Highly skilled and ready to tackle any job no matter the size or cuisine, each of our private chefs has their own unique twist on cooking. With different educations, backgrounds, histories, and specialties, each chef has their own edge that’s inspired by their experiences and individual tastes.

Robert Morales

‘I love sharing my knowledge with other foodies who want to discover more about the amazing variety of foods available in our lives’

Born in California, raised in Texas, Robert now calls Sydney home. With a deep awareness of nature & its abundance of foods, Robert is a rare kind of chef who forages for ingredients from the wild. If you’re looking for a unique experience that has you learning a little bit more about your food, Rob is the perfect match. Read more about Chef Robert Morales

Sebastian Pile

‘The most important part of a meal is good food, good company, and of course good drinks. And a good joke at the end’

He’s cooked for Bill Clinton and met Jackie Chan while catering his film shoot for Bleeding Steel. Sebastian is used to cooking for the elite, serving up sophisticated cuisine that comes with a side of humour. If you’re looking for impeccable presentation in each dish as well as a bit of fun and banter, then Sebastian is your man.

Valeria Boselli

‘I have a dream that dining vegetarian & vegan should be a belief & culture, fun and exciting experience, and deserves to be delicious’

If you’re looking for catering that’s conscious, then Valeria’s healthy mouth-watering cuisine is where you’ll find it. An Italian who’s been calling Australia home for the last 10 years, Valeria is passionate about making plant-based dining an exciting, fun, and healthy meal that’s a party for your taste buds. For something that tastes too good to be healthy (but is), Valeria’s got the goods.

FIND YOUR PERSONAL CHEF

Choosing a private chef is just as important as choosing a menu. At CHEFIN, one of our core values is to reintroduce the chef as part of the culinary experience. Chefs are there to do more than just cook and serve food. They add to the atmosphere and social aspect of dining, they educate guests on ingredients and different cuisines, and they take on the role of being a great host.

Read through our chefs’ bios to get a good feel for the unique personalities and skill sets of each of our private chefs. Consider what catering experience you’re looking for, what kind of cuisine you’d like to enjoy eating, and what the theme of your event would be. Our personal chefs will be the ones working with you to craft a mouth-watering customised menu that’s full of your favourites (and their specialties!)

Winston Zhang

‘I love to delight diners with innovative & beautiful dishes. For me, food is creating unique ways of presenting dishes while keeping that authentic taste’

People who love to eat always make great chefs, and Winston is one of them. Originally from Shanghai, Winston’s love of food was born in Sydney thanks to its beautifully diverse selection of ingredients. Winston is a chef who lives, breathes, and eats food, with every moment of his waking life devoted to it. When he’s not cooking, he’s eating, and that’s what guarantees you a premium chef with tonnes of innovation and passion.

Sailesh Vala

‘I love to pick up fresh ingredients and cook them in a way that blows the mind’

Sailesh is CHEFIN’s very own Heston. With a specialty in cooking Indigenous Maori foods, Sailesh is another one of our chefs who is deeply fond of foraging for fresh, local ingredients. Sailesh won’t just serve you a plate of food, he’ll create a work of art with the ingredients and transform your eating experience. If you’re looking for food that’s different, cooked with creativity & love, and blows away your senses, Sailesh has you covered.

Chris Siktars

‘I cook with whichever produce nature provides me’

He started his cheffing career learning traditional Hungarian foods from his grandma, and now Chris is nationally recognised for his simplistic, produce-focused cuisine that’s packed with flavour. No fancy bits & bobs or confusion of the palate. Just quality food and flavours. If you’re a serious foodie who gets excited at the thought of obscure ingredients, unique dishes, and sustainable produce, then Chris will give you lots to boast about.
