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.

Excellent service

I wanted a cold buffet and what Elaine provided was beyond what I was expecting. I gave her a basic idea of what I wanted and left the rest to her. When she arrived she took time and care to prepare everything and set it up, the spread looked and tasted fantastic. All my guests were commenting on it. Unfortunately I didn't take a photo. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her.

Delicious food

I booked Elaine to cook for a group of 16 at an AirB&B. The food was delicious, I’ve never had such lovely fish. However two minor negatives. Elaine had originally told me she would be here between 4-4:30, but she didn’t arrive till gone 5pm. I had an anxious hour worrying whether she’d turn up. A quick text to me saying she wouldn’t arrive till later would have been good. Also, she arrived alone, so there was no one to serve the meals. Some of our group had to be waitresses. Not so bad, but I guess if she had brought someone to help it would have cost more. Overall though, we had a good experience and the food was excellent.

Catering for 50 for a Golden Wedding party

Elaine thank you so much for doing the catering at our party. The food was delicious (I wanted to take credit for it myself but I didnt). The sandwiches were really tasty, including my gluten free ones. There was something for all tastes. It was just right with a couple of slices of pizza, bags of crisps and one sandwich left. Would totally recommend Elaine to anyone having a party. Arrived at the stated time, set it all up, explained veggie, gluten free etc and then left us to it. Excellent 5 star service.
