About Elaine's Kitchen

I have been working as a chef for years working in 5* hotels, event companies and running my catering company Tastes of the Nile from my bijou eatery in NW8 where I quickly gained a 5* rating on TripAdvisor.

I am now supplying beautifully crafted canapes and delicious buffets to suit any event.

I am not just a great cook but have a keen interest in nutrition. I set up a kitchen in a Wellness Centre on the Red Sea in Egypt and was a development chef for a new healthy eating concept that was trialled in London last year. I have cooked for many clients on diets restricted by food allergies and illness.

Typical Clients

I have provided food for funerals, birthdays, dinner parties and celebrations as well as an Oxford University College Summer Ball.

I am also happy to supply boxed meals for the week ready to put in your freezer.

Fabulous Food

Elaine provided great service and excellent food - she made sure we were fed well! Our Italian themed retirement party for 25ish people was well stocked with arancini, bruschetta, spinach and ricotta Canelloni and fresh tomato salads. Elaine arrived and immediately started to prepare and plate our feast - which was a bit of a task in the heat and a crowded kitchen. She was personable and professional and we were extremely pleased with everything.

Absolutely perfect addition to our Hen Weekend!

Elaine from the first day has been very receptive to our groups needs, including taking some very particular dietary requirements into consideration. She has been easy and responsive to communicate with. She was so kind in providing us with sharing canapes, mains and desserts, which allowed us flexibility to enjoy the evening at our own pace, and everyone was simply delighted by both her service, her friendliness and her food. It tasted amazing and there was something for everyone. Her menu felt seasonal, fresh and very healthy. All in all, she was amazing and not one of the girls would hesitate in asking Elaine to cater for intimate, formal gatherings.

Unfortunately the food arrived 1 hour late, also the amount of food supplied was insufficient for the amount of guests. What we received seemed to bought or supplied via shopping outlets Costco and Co-Op. We were promised handmade food, that did not appear. Some of our requested food was charged by this chosen caterer without consultation. The amount we paid was bit reflected by the quantity of food we received. This was acknowledged by this caterer, but this doesn't help when our wedding day was some what let down by the food on offer, dominos and the local fish and chip shop were on standby.

Delicious food

Elaine came and cooked for our hen party of 14, in a kitchen that was less than well equipped. She calmly got on with it, served up a delicious 3 course meal plus canapés, and then discreetly cleared up and left us to party. What a great service!
