I bring Michelin-trained private dining to your home, blending Mediterranean flavors with Japanese–French fusion for unforgettable experiences.

Michael J Beugnet

I craft bespoke fine dining with Michelin-level precision—right in your home.

I’m a Michelin-trained private chef with experience in 2 Michelin-starred kitchens including Le Chabichou and Le Palme d’Or. I love creating elegant, globally inspired menus that blend vibrant Mediterranean flavors with exciting Japanese–French fusion, always tailored to the occasion and the people at the table.

Whether you want relaxed comfort food or a full 5-star celebration, I design flavor-packed meals around your preferences and dietary needs. I also offer hands-on cooking classes for all levels, and I travel across Essex, Kent, Sussex, London, and Berkshire to deliver an elevated dining experience with heart, precision, and flair.

Let’s plan your menu

I always keep cool and organized—when everything is in its place, everything becomes great.

I focus on the details that make your meal feel truly special.

I cook to create moments worth cherishing

For me, cooking is always a great moment to cherish with my guests—I put warmth and care into every plate so the experience feels personal, not just impressive.

I built my skills from the kitchen up

I started learning to be a chef in a small restaurant when I was 16. My chef taught me the best foundations of the kitchen, and I’ve carried that discipline and drive with me ever since.

I stay calm, organized, and in control

My secret in the kitchen is staying cool and organized. That mindset keeps service smooth and lets every dish land exactly as it should—consistent, refined, and enjoyable.
