Jessica Cooper is a London-based private chef with a background in Le Cordon Bleu training, fine dining, luxury hotel kitchens, pastry, private households and bespoke events.  Having worked in Michelin-standard kitchens around Mayfair and Knightsbridge, she brings classical technique, discipline and restaurant-level skill to food that still feels personal and full of life.

Holding the title of youngest Head Chef at Essex’s first organic wine bar, Jessica eventually went on to lead a Mediterranean small plates kitchen with a focus on seasonal produce, with flavours designed to sit beautifully alongside organic and low-intervention wines. 

After branching into the private sector, Jessica has cooked for HNW and UHNW households, private clients, families and people celebrating the moments that deserve better food than the usual beige buffet! Her work ranges from elegant canapés and dinner parties to relaxed sharing menus, nutrition-led household cooking, East Asian-inspired dishes and longer-term private chef roles.

What matters most to her is that the food feels right for the people eating it. Beautiful, yes. Refined, absolutely! But also warm and full of character, tailored to any occasion. Her bold takes on classic dishes bring proper technique and her unmistakable personality to every menu, making each event feel unmistakably personal.
