Hi, I'm Charlotte
(but my friends call me Char!)
I'm a home cook turned personal chef, recipe developer, and self-proclaimed salad connoisseur. LunchLately has been my passion project for years, and after spending 7 years in fashion, beauty, and lifestyle PR, I decided my heart and hands belonged in the kitchen. Now, I cook in-home for busy bodies who need - or just want - a helping hand.
My love of food comes from my wonderful mum, who spent years perfecting her craft in the kitchen, and whose love language has always been cooking for others. Turns out, it's genetic.
LunchLately is, more often than not, an ode to salad in its glorious, adaptable forms - though you'll also find sweets, sips, & plenty of other joyful things because I'm a firm believer that a happy belly is a balanced one.
I make fresh, elevated basics rooted in seasonality, drawing inspiration from what's in season and working closely with my clients to build a menu that feels right for them.
Whether you're a new mum, a busybody with no time to cook, or simply looking for someone to help you host your next dinner party, get in touch - I'd love to work with you !
