Private chef and creator

Hi, I’m Atlanta — a London-based private chef and food creator passionate about seasonal, sharing-style dining. I create relaxed, memorable experiences for intimate dinners, supper clubs, and collaborations with brands that celebrate the best in food. Rooted in seasonality, every menu I create reflects what’s freshest and most inspiring at that moment.

New recipes

Grilled aubergine with tomato & anchovy salsa

A really good side just needs contrast: sweet peppers, smoky leeks, crunchy walnuts and sharp vinegar. Just as good at a barbecue as with a Sunday roast. Swap the leeks for tenderstem, green beans or asparagus.

Macerated strawberry, chicory, pecorino & sunflower seed salad

All about balance: sweet strawberries, bitter chicory, salty British pecorino and toasted sunflower seeds for crunch. Fresh, light and very spring.

Roasted carrots with carrot top & lemon pesto

I love using every last bit of an ingredient. This pesto stops carrot tops ending up in the bin and is easier on the wallet than an all-basil version. My mum called these the best carrots she'd ever eaten.

Chef's notes: cashews work brilliantly in place of pine nuts for a cheaper option. The pesto is also delicious stirred through pasta or spooned over grilled fish. Make extra; you'll thank yourself later.

Crème fraîche & mustard Jersey Royal potato salad with confit spring onions & crispy shallots

My take on the humble potato salad. Crispy shallots add crunch, confit spring onions bring sweetness, and the crème fraîche and wholegrain mustard dressing keeps it sharp and fresh.
