Private Chef Darius ENGLAND, United Kingdom

Private and personal chef

Use knowledge from across the globe to infused my way of cooking

Darius Knetsch, My Passion for cooking started at a very early age. I remember helping my mother on Sundays with the roast and making cake for families and guests who would visit. I took up my first position as a Chef in the Park Lane Hotel London Where I started as a Commis trainee Chef. While at Park Lane I took up Catering College to improve my knowledge in the Catering Industry. I continued college for seven years covering basic cooking and then advance my skills in Buffet and Larder work. I work throughout the Industry Picking up skills and knowledge from the different establishments. Since I started at the Park Lane Hotel I have constantly worked my way up the career ladder. My deepest passion is for Oriental Cooking after work at the Crockford Casino London, I have always been interested to know much more about this style of cooking, so I brought books. But this was not enough so I took up classes and started visiting foreign countries on holiday. I visit New Orleans where I first tasted Cajun food and California where I experienced Real Mexican cooking. It was a great enrichment to visit all the different countries and tasting the vast range of ethnic dishes from around the world, I would then try a master all the dishes on my return home After my long period working in five-star hotel and Michelin style restaurant, I really enjoy working as a private chef more because you get to see your work being enjoyed giving you that first hand feeling to do more for the host and guest,
