We had the pleasure of having Tristan cook for us for 16 people
for an important birthday party. Right from the beginning he was accommodating and versatile when creating a menu to suit the birthday boy.
Very friendly and made our evening special. Thanks again!

Thank you for providing a great space for us to work in, and an appreciative crowd, not to mention that Tuscan chicken recipe!

Tristan cooked 2 separate meals for us, each one for 20 people, in a private house we had rented for my husbands 70th birthday. We wanted canapes and sharing plates for informal, relaxed dining. Tristan came up with some great ideas and communicated well. The food was really delicious and our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. More...

Thanks Jacky-- I really liked those two menus. You can see pictures of most of what you ate on my instagram. Hope to work with you again.

Tristan cooked a fantastic meal for my husband’s 70th birthday. We had a black tie dinner with delicious but simple food (my husband’s favourite…. nothing too fussy). Tristan was easy to work with in coming up with the perfect menu to cater to my husband’s tastes. I have to say we all got on really well with Tristan and the whole evening from cocktails to fabulous food was a huge success. We would highly recommend Tristan. More...

Tristan came to my home and produced a three course lunch for nine of us. We worked together on the menu and on the day my guests and I were absolutely delighted with a most delicious meal, I could not have asked for better. I look forward to another opportunity to engage Tristan. More...

One New Year's Day eve, family and friends were sitting about the fire place enjoying each other's company. We had all committed to healthier eating after the revelry of the season and had shared a light dinner this night to get ready for coming days of the new year.
The evening called for something special in the way of a bit of celebratory flourish to finish off the season. The hostess (me) had not seen to that and had brought out a dwindling and perhaps slightly stale Christmas cookie collection that was passed about with no takers!
Quietly but apparently taking note of this, Tristan slipped out without a word to purchase a bottle of Marsala wine. When he returned, with a twinkle in his eye he began to make what turned out to be the loveliest of desserts, a Zabaglione. We had not heard of this simple, elegant, ancient dessert with a noble history but we all remember it now. It was a perfect touch for the evening, perfectly prepared with quiet competence and confidence that it was the perfect thing to keep our spirits up as another special holiday season came to a close. It was healthy in its way too. Tristan served it with love and care and also told us about the Florentine Medici history of this special, special desert. Thank you Tristan for helping us go happily into the night and to close out that special season with a "just right dish"!
