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

Whipped cottage cheese with broad beans, peas, lemon & basil

Broad bean season forces you to slow down. Take a bowl outside and pod them in the sun, or rope in friends with a cold drink. Fresh, packed with protein and brilliant with grilled meat, fish or good bread.

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.

Charred baby leeks with walnut romesco

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.

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.
