Pinch of Salt

How it all started….
In 2008 I made a life altering decision and swapped my scarf and textbooks at Otago University for a white jacket and enrolled at The Culinary Institute of New Zealand in Kerikeri. So began a most delicious and exciting journey. Though not very long, my career to date certainly doesn’t lack variety and I have had the good fortune to work for one or two of the great New Zealand and Australian chefs of our time. My kind of cooking is unpretentious and locally-sourced we have a natural pantry on our door step that is arguably the best in the world and I intend to have a go at tasting all of it.


What is Pinch of Salt?
The most precious moments with your nearest and dearest almost always involve eating (at least in my family they do!) and sharing a meal with your friends and family should never be a chore.

If you are planning a get together, let me take the pressure out of entertaining. From shopping for the produce to serving the meal and doing the dishes, it would be my pleasure to create a bespoke menu especially for you and your guests. I can cater to your canapé event, sit down dinner, barbeque or even pack you up a delicious picnic hamper - there is no fixed formula to eating well so tell me what you’d love to have and let me do the cooking!
