What’s your signature dish?
I have a number of signature dishes! People do come far and wide for my traditional Sicilian dishes such as a pasta alla Trapanese (Almond and tomato pesto) and my Sicilian ricotta cannoli. I love cooking foods from the Mediterranean (both East and West) as the dishes are infused with such history, spices and ingredients. I love cooking foods from Iran, Cyprus, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Majorca, Spain.
I do also enjoy cooking a variety cuisine including (not limiting to) Asian, Indian, Mexican and Australian
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
When I meet my clients I ask them a series of questions about them and what their favourite foods are and the significance of particular type of foods are to them. From there, I start to create an unique menu retelling their life story so far through food.
What do you love most about your job?
I love bringing people together with food. I love telling my client's story via food. I love how food breaks down barriers, unites people, makes them laugh and cry and I feel that I am privilege to be there, being a part of people's memories.
I love teaching people on ingredients, cooking and the history of food and where it comes from and how it has traveled from one nation to other.
I enjoy foraging around Perth and the countryside to find fresh, local, seasonal ingredients, talking to WA farmers, providores and suppliers etc to see the passion they have and allowing me to shine with their ingredients.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I worked in the corporate world for over 25 years and decided that I needed to do what I truly love, cooking! So, I went back to school and become a chef and was working with some truly amazing chefs around the country. After a few years, I decided that I would love to have my own business and cook the foods that I love and make people happy and at the same time teach them about good local food and how to cook it!

Catering for birthdays and private functions
Michelina Lawson Catering loves catering for parties and private functions that are refreshingly different and decidedly delicious. It might be an intimate dinner party where our Chef cooks in your home and leaves a sparkling kitchen at the end of the night, or a lavish party in a silk marquee at one of our suggested venues.
Our extensive range of private party catering menus enable us to bring our services to you for breakfasts, lunches, dinner parties, cocktail parties, barbecues, buffets and more.
Whatever you decide to do, we’ll work with you to create a memorable time. As well as providing outstanding food and professional staff, we can also assist you with your beverage requirements and organise equipment hire, and any other services required to stage your special event.
Funerals and wakes
We're here to make things a little easier at this difficult time. Normally, catering is the last thing on your mind when organising catering for a wake, funeral or memorial service.
From experience that the logistics of ordering catering at short notice, while estimating the number of guests that might attend a wake, can be difficult. Let us help you to take the stress away from you.
We’ve made the ordering process simple.
These funeral catering menus offer the ease of finger foods that can either be delivered and self-served, or you can have our staff discreetly take care of all of the service elements for you. We are also able to tailor a funeral catering menu to suit your tastes, budget, venue and dietary requirements.
Private cooking classes
Get a group of family, friends or workmates together for your own private dinner party cooking class.
Classes are between 10 - 18 people to ensure that everyone can participate, ask questions, and most of all, enjoy all the dishes prepared in the session.
The classes are very relaxed and social, with all our recipes incredibly simple to prepare, but designed to impress, as that’s what eating and entertaining is all about. We have the freshest and seasonal ingredients which already does 50% of your work. It's a great night where people are relaxed and enjoy cooking and eating.
Our recipes have been designed so that they are easy to follow and prepare, and giving them the confidence in making the dishes over and over again.
