Sophie
Chef & Culinary Explorer
After a decade as a professional confectioner, pastry chef, and chocolatier, Sophie found her way into savory cooking through a deep love of culture, flavour, and nourishment. With years of hands on experience, she brings an intuitive and heartfelt approach to the kitchen, guided by curiosity, creativity, and care.
Her travels through South East and East Asia sparked a lasting connection to regional food traditions, inspiring her to learn directly from local cooks and communities. These experiences shaped her philosophy: sharing food is not only nourishment, but a form of connection, storytelling, and love.
Today, she blends her background in precision based pastry arts with a free spirited love of global cuisine; cooking meals that comfort, inspire, and bring people together. Whether she's crafting a cozy weeknight dinner or hosting a feast for friends and family, her food always comes from the heart.
In her free time, you'll find her exploring new flavours, solving puzzles, making miniature models or simply enjoying a shared meal with loved ones.
