Wanderlust… finding a new home…
December 25, 2019
The Nomad Chef left London its HQ almost 3 years ago in search of a new home. First stop was San Felice Circeo in Italy, where we stayed for 3 months. It was amazing – blue sea, forest, farms, and the best fresh vegetables of anywhere. Then Antibes (French Riviera) for a month. And after
Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy Birthday to Us – we are 7 years old today!
February 14, 2017
Happy Valentine’s Day to you! And Happy Birthday to me, the Nomad Chef! It has been 7 years since we started the secret restaurant/supper club, the Nomad Chef, now known as one of the oldest supper clubs in London. It was 8 1/2 years ago that my son Shaka died. He was my inspiration for
A love story
February 6, 2014
In about a week, February 14th – Valentine’s Day, the Nomad Chef will be celebrating its 4th birthday. It’s so hard to imagine that so much time has passed since I first started welcoming all of you strangers into my home. A lot of love has come through here. I thought I would take a
The lure of a good meal
February 6, 2013
I would never have believed it if it hadn’t happened to me. What started off as a girl’s weekend in Paris ended with 2 lovely new friends, and a great adventure. I was out until way later than I should have been having drinks with someone I knew and someone I met at Verjus (a
All we need is love!

I’ve been neglecting my blogging here on the Nomad Chef site. I’m not exactly sure why. But I’m back here, at least for the moment. With no dinner scheduled in January I’ve had time to really miss cooking! Oh, I’ve cooked, but it has mostly been for me and my boyfriend sous chef. He is
Heart and Soul Food!
October 20, 2012
I’ve just come back from a whirlwind road trip. It actually started a few weeks ago when I went to Boston (to screen my film at the Boston Film Festival, which you can read about here or here). I came home for a few days to cook for a dinner being held at the Debut
My paranormal event
August 30, 2012
Unbeknownst to me I was being tested today. I went into The Fish Shop at Kensington Place today to pick up some fish for a red Thai curry I’m making tonight. And for the millionth time I was happy to be a vegetarian! Monkfish for two, £26 ($40)!!! Vegetables are just so much cheaper. But
Beautiful food and beautiful people!

Our Nomad Chef celebration of the Olympics was great fun! More than 75 beautiful people, live music, art and food of course! On the 28th of July we popped up in Kilburn! But now we’re back to our own digs. We’ll be offering singles the chance to meet and mingle at the Nomad Chef: For
28 July 2012 – Nomad Chef is popping up in honor of the Olympics!
July 20, 2012
In honor of visitors from all over the world, and those of us who live here, the Nomad Chef will be popping up in Kilburn (London), not all that far from our normal digs in Holland Park. This larger venue will allow us to create a social dining experience like no other, many, many strangers
Big events at the Nomad Chef!
June 30, 2012
I think I live for big events. I am a Taurean and very earth bound, so it probably takes a bunch of energy to combat my natural inertia. Planning an event focuses the mind, and harnesses that core energy that is buried deep within me, this stubborn Taurean. I love planning parties, dinners, and organizing
