About Ellie Katzler

Welcome! I’m a private chef with over a decade of culinary experience, dedicated to creating memorable dining experiences that celebrate flavour, health, and sustainability.

I began my culinary journey as a pastry chef in London, where my passion for the art of cooking blossomed. At just 21, I had the incredible opportunity to work for the royal family, honing my skills in an environment where precision and excellence were paramount.

My career then took me around the globe, spending five transformative years working on superyachts. This unique experience allowed me to explore diverse cuisines and cultures, shaping my culinary style and deepening my appreciation for seasonal and sustainable ingredients.

Now, I’ve found my home in beautiful Portugal, where I draw inspiration from the local produce and vibrant flavours of the region. I’m passionate about nourishing not just the body but also the soul, and I believe that great food should always be healthy and sustainable.

Whether you’re looking for a cozy dinner at home or an exquisite event, I’m here to bring your culinary visions to life, one dish at a time.
