Private Chef Walter London, ENGLAND, United Kingdom

French Chef in London with Michelin star background

Good food is all about good ingredients and a combination of flavours and my unique style comes from my French-Japanese heritage. I've decided to become a private chef this year after doing a number of private dinners while being the executive Chef of an award winning restaurant. I realise how the connection with my guests is important and I'm truly keen on talking to them and seeing them enjoy a dinner prepared by me. In my opinion, being a chef is all about creating memories.

Chef Walter first trained in his hometown Lyon, France, renowned for its gastronomic heritage. He worked for four years at Lyon’s famous 3 Michelin star restaurant owned by Paul Bocuse, who he considers the Pope of the French cuisine. He then spent three and a half years at the Hotel Ritz' 2 Michelin star restaurant L’Espadon in Paris. During his time at the Ritz, chef Walter worked closely with Executive Chef Michel Roth, travelled around the world to represent the French cuisine and was also a part of the team that earned the restaurant's second Michelin star. Walter’s menus blend classic French fare with a delicate approach to flavour and texture derived from his Japanese heritage – his dishes feature bold, simple flavours cooked using only the finest ingredients. Walter was also awarded by 2 AA Rosette guide for Culinary Excellence. Since 2011 chef Walter has been involved in organising an annual charity dinner supporting Hospitality Action cooking alongside celebrity Chefs Raymond Blanc, Monica Galetti, Tom Kerridge, Bruno Loubet, Claude Boss and several others. His recipes are also published in the Great British Cookbook 2 and the Charitable Cookbook 2017, which support charities such as MacMillan Cancer Support and Hospitality Action.
