My Story โ€“ Laxman Shrestha
I am a chef shaped by discipline, travel, and responsibility, with over 15 years of international culinary experience across luxury hotels, Michelin Guideโ€“listed restaurants, and high-volume kitchens in the UK, USA, Qatar, and the UAE. My journey began in Nepal, where food is deeply connected to family, respect, and hospitality. That foundation guided me as I progressed from junior kitchen roles to Senior Sous Chef, Head Chef, and R&D Chef Consultant, working in environments where precision, consistency, and trust are non-negotiable. Throughout my career, I have led teams of up to 15 chefs, delivered 300โ€“1,000 covers per service, and maintained the highest standards of food safety (HACCP) and operational excellence. I have worked with Mediterranean, French, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and global cuisines, always adapting menus to suit guestsโ€™ preferences, dietary needs, and cultural expectations. What draws me to private chef work is the opportunity to move away from volume and focus instead on personalised serviceโ€”cooking that is thoughtful, discreet, and tailored. In private settings, every detail matters: sourcing quality ingredients, understanding clientsโ€™ lifestyles, maintaining confidentiality, and delivering calm, professional service at all times. My experience in luxury hotels and senior leadership roles has taught me how to work with high-profile clients, respect privacy, and operate independently with complete accountability. I am confident managing menus, procurement, hygiene standards, and service flow without supervision, while remaining flexible to clientsโ€™ changing needs. Today, I bring not only technical skill, but also maturity, reliability, and professionalism. I see private cheffing as a long-term path where trust, consistency, and genuine care define success. I am proud to present my profile on The Private Chef Network and look forward to contributing my experience to clients seeking excellence, discretion, and refined hospitality.

Is it: โ€ข Pace of service? โ€ข Communication with principals? โ€ข Menu personalization? โ€ข Discretion and boundaries?
