Private plant-based chef for travel
Bring a trusted plant-based chef on the journey.
Damian is available for selected private-chef engagements in New Zealand and, where practical and lawful, internationally. The service suits private clients and families who want consistent, personalised plant-based food during a luxury holiday, extended stay, wellness trip or time at a private residence.
Damian grew up sailing in the Marlborough Sounds and worked as chef aboard MV Odyssey out of Broome in 2024, cooking for guests and crew in a compact galley during remote marine operations. This experience makes him particularly well suited to private yachts, charter vessels, expedition boats and coastal itineraries.
