I create international, chef-led dining experiences that feel effortless, personal, and memorable—so you can relax and enjoy every bite.

Phillis Wairimu

I bring international flavors to your table with thoughtful, fresh, feel-good cooking.

I’m a professional chef with more than 15 years of experience, classically trained in international cuisine at Murang’a College of Technology (now Murang’a University of Technology). I love seeing people light up after a truly delicious meal, and I design each menu to be generous, balanced, and satisfying.

My journey has taken me from my first catering role in Nairobi to serving as a private chef for the Kenyan High Commissioner in Gaborone, and later working in Dubai with Take-a-Chef. Wherever I cook, I bring the same focus: great ingredients, confident technique, and warm hospitality.

Plan my event with me

Cooking is therapeutic and inspirational as well.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with purpose and calm

Cooking is therapeutic and inspirational for me, so I bring that energy into every service—focused, present, and attentive to the details that make a meal feel special.

I’m professionally trained and widely experienced

I’ve always enjoyed cooking, and I built my craft through professional training at Murang’a College and hands-on experience as an intern at Mombasa Beach Hotel, followed by years of work across Nairobi, Botswana, and Dubai.

I let ingredients lead the way

My kitchen secret is simple: I always use the freshest ingredients—produce and everything else—because that’s what creates the best outcomes on the plate.

Phillis Wairimu’s Menus

I offer curated menus inspired by Mediterranean favorites and Kenyan and coastal classics. I tailor the experience to your occasion while keeping flavors bold, ingredients fresh, and the flow of the meal smooth from the first bite to dessert.
