If you’ve ever hosted a celebration with more than one dietary requirement to juggle, you’ll know exactly how fast it can turn into a logistical headache: shopping lists, label-checking, separate pans, and that constant worry about cross-contamination. 🤯

It’s hard to enjoy your own party when half your brain is still in the kitchen. 🥲

Now imagine a party instead where everyone at the table is eating and enjoying the same dishes and where you’re chilling just as much as everyone else.😇

That’s exactly what I handle for you as a private chef, so the only thing you have to worry about is spending quality time with your guests. ✨

Got a celebration coming up with tricky dietary requirements? Send me a DM and let’s make it the easiest part of your planning. 🌱

THE AUTUMN TABLE 🍂
A Supper Club by Chef Tania & Chef Carmen
Friday, November 27th 2026
Plant.Eat.Licious | Vegan Café in Bath , Bath

I’m delighted to invite you to my next supper club: this one is extra special as it’s a joint supper club with Chef Tania of The Table by Tania | Tania Sikand 👩🏻‍🍳

We’ve worked together behind the scenes a few times this year, and after many conversations about our shared love of food, heritage, and plant-led cooking, the idea of hosting an evening together just made sense. ✨

For this one, we’re bringing our two cooking styles into a fully plant-based six-course tasting menu: four savoury courses and two desserts, celebrating late-autumn produce with bold, fusion flavours. Each course reflects our individual style and heritage, and we genuinely can’t wait for you to taste what we’ve created! 😍

Tickets are now available via Private Chef ☘️The Cooking Flea link in bio 🔗

Come as a stranger, leave as a friend ✨

A quiet room full of strangers can somehow turn into a loud one, full of people sharing stories, laughter and conversations, as if they’d known each other for years.
For centuries, humans have gathered around the table. Food gives us a reason to pause, to sit together and to share something with one another.
It breaks down barriers, sparks conversations and creates bonds between people who may otherwise never have crossed paths. And perhaps that’s what we need a little more of. ♥️

Would you show up to a dinner with 10 strangers… on your own? 😬

If the answer is “No way!”, know that I felt exactly the same before my first supper club. 🤭

But something magical happens once the first glass is poured or after someone makes a comment on the food: within minutes, the dining room doesn't feel like a room full of strangers anymore.

By the end of the night, people are swapping numbers and wondering why they were so nervous to come in the first place.
That’s what makes a supper club special: it’s not just a meal; it’s an experience you end up telling for weeks after. ✨

So… Would you come to a supper club alone? YES or NO? Tell me below!👇

The final chapter: the one where it all comes together. 👩🏻‍🍳🍽️

The last few years have been a messy journey of evolution and growth: from buying a car to reach clients, to testing my private chef service on two very patient friends, to my very first booking - all while keeping the supper clubs and classes going strong too. ✨

Birthdays, hen parties, retreats, weddings, corporate dinners, and so on. The greatest thing about it all is what a HUGE privilege it is to be part of so many special moments! And I’m forever grateful to every single guest.

It hasn’t been easy, and it still isn’t. But I wouldn’t change a thing, and most of all, I don’t regret following my intuition.

If this story resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it today. ♥️

Be the guest at your own party! 🍾

Candles are lit. Your favourite people have arrived and... You’re actually sitting around the table with them, just as if you were a guest, but in your own space! 🏡

You don’t have to worry about running back and forth to the kitchen to check the oven, timing the courses or that pile of dishes waiting for you at midnight, while everyone else heads home happy!

That’s the whole idea behind having a private chef: you get to be a guest at your own celebration.
And once you experience it, hosting “the old way” will never feel the same. 👩🏻‍🍳

Sounds like your dream dinner? Comment GUEST and I’ll walk you through exactly how it works. 🌱

As highly anticipated, here’s part two of the story: how I went from travel professional to private chef. 👩🏻‍🍳

Not an easy path and certainly, a big jump into the void. I knew I I wanted to turn my passion for food into a career; I just had zero experience, no plan and no idea where to start.

But somehow, it worked out, and things evolved in ways that I never expected.

And here’s the part where the story unfolds: the final chapter. Look out for it. 👀

Everyone at the table deserves the same experience ✨

If you have an allergy or a dietary requirement, you’ll probably know the feeling: the anxious wait to see if there’s actually something exciting for you, or if it’s the same sad salad again. 🥲

As a private chef, I take great pride in making sure everyone enjoys the same experience.
Guests at my table don’t just get an ‘option’: they get a meal created with the same care, attention and creativity as everyone else’s. Because being included shouldn’t feel like a surprise. It should be the standard. 🤍

If you know someone who always feels like an afterthought at the table, send them this. 💌

🌱 Maritozzo Salato 🌱

A new dish in our repertoire.

The perfect start to your dinner - served as a small(er) canapé or entrée - and surely one you won’t forget after the first bite. ✨

Inspired by the flavours of Southern Italy, the brioche is soft and delicate, hosting the creamiest filling: fermented cashew crèmeux and Calabrian sun-dried tomato pesto.
Everything is finished with seasonal vegetables and a dusting of dehydrated aromatic herbs.
It may sound simple, but flavours are quite complex and beautifully layered. 🌿

There’s only one way to enjoy it: no forks, no knives. Simply with your hands for a playful, sensory experience. 😇

Now available as part of our bespoke menus for our private dining events.
If you’re planning something special, we’re a click away. Get in touch via the link in bio. 📩

With love, Carmen.
