"Words can't express how talented Laura Pope is. But her food can..."
Private Chef - Reviews
“Every year we look forward to our family holiday in Cornwall - apart from the beautiful beaches and fantastic surf, it’s the delicious food that awaits us from Laura.
Using local, fresh produce, her menus are creative, yet have a real home-cooked feel; everything is always so tasty, hearty and flavoursome and her puddings are off the chart!
We never leave Laura after our holidays without a big care package of salted chocolate chip cookies.”
- Jamie Oliver & Jools Oliver

“Laura has cooked for our families off and on for seven years. We would travel far and wide to eat anything she makes (especially her evil Pavlovas).
She always cooks with the freshest seasonal ingredients, puts together mouthwatering menus, and accommodates our adventurous eaters and our picky young ones alike.
Her meals manage to somehow feel surprising yet deeply comforting at the same time. We are trying to get her to come to us in the US.
If we had to choose between her food and her company, we don’t know which we would pick.”

Laura’s modern healthy approach to cooking and entertaining is both inspiring and satisfying, and we have learnt as we feasted.”

“Laura Pope has cooked for my family whilst on holiday and at our home. I love her ‘nothing’s too much trouble’ approach as well as her flair for fresh, healthy and very delicious food.
Laura’s love of Italian-inspired fare mixed with her own modern ideas have always been just what we feel like eating. She has a great eye for colour and passion for everything she makes.
Her interest in anti-cancer diets has been very useful and I feel very lucky to have been fed by her!”

“Laura has worked for me for several years, both for our luxury chalet company in Verbier and in Cornwall cooking for our family and rental guests, all of whom expect only the best and a real versatility in style.
Her beautiful, rustic food is perfect for Cornish summers, not to mention her fantastic baking, delicious jams and preserves and irresistible home-made granola and Nordic crispbread.
She is an absolute pleasure to have around the house, not to mention reorganising my larder and freezer.”

“Laura is a phenomenal private chef. She has cooked for our family on several holidays in Cornwall and her cooking and repertoire is fantastic.
She has made wonderful picnics, evening meals making great use of local and seasonal ingredients as well as special meals for children which are always left with clean plates.
Her chocolate brownie is to die for.”

“A truly delightful, relaxing and educational experience for a group of friends. Not only do you get to learn how to cook a showstopper meal, you then get to feast in a beautiful glass dining area overlooking an English country garden. Totally recommend.”

Couldn't wait to sit down for lunch and eat all the delicious food.”

Her recipes are easy to follow, and the time plan makes recreating the whole meal perfectly possible.”

“My partner bought me this cooking demonstration as a gift and I couldn’t be more grateful! Laura made us all feel so welcome and we were completely engrossed as she was cooking, answering all our questions.
The food was unbelievable, even the dishes I wasn’t sure about ended up being my favourites - I will now be making them on repeat! I could not recommend Laura enough!”
