LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF.  

I’m Jamie, a chef, a foodie, and someone who believes that great food brings people together.

I’ve been calling PORTUGAL home for 5 years now, but my journey started in Cornwall, UK. The first time I came here to surf 15 years ago, I knew this place had something special—just like a dish that hits all the right notes.

I’ve spent years in professional kitchens, from high-end restaurants to street food stalls across the world, learning, refining, and falling deeper in love with the craft. Last year, I decided to take the plunge and go solo—and so, JAMIE COOKS FOR YOU WAS BORN - PRIVATE CATERING WITH CHARACTER.

I trained under the renowned Cornwall-based chef Jude Kereama at his acclaimed restaurants, Kota and Kota Kai, where I honed my culinary skills and earned my Diploma in Professional Cookery, laying the foundation for my career as a chef.

Building on my passion for food and hospitality, I later pursued a BA (Hons) in Creative Events Management, equipping me with the expertise to curate exceptional dining experiences that go beyond just a meal—blending creativity, precision, and seamless event execution.

I HOPE TO SEE YOU around the table very soon!
