Ivana Brdanovic

Amazing professional communication and service from start to finish and can not recommend highly enough. The food was absolutely amazing and everyone could not stop the complements coming - complete consensus that it was the best banoffee pie anyone has ever had!! I really hope we can find an excuse to use you again In the future, thank you so much Ivana.

"Brilliant food and she worked so hard and put up with a loud group of guys.

Could not recommend her enough"

I would absolutely recommend Ivana for any event. She was excellent! We booked her to cook a private dinner after an end of year meeting. The food was amazing, she was lovely and so professional. I had to make some last minute adjustments and she was super accommodating and helpful. She cooked for any dietary requirements (gluten free, vegan and vegetarian). Will book her for any future events we have coming up, no doubt!

Ivana was wonderful, from the communication on booking to the menu roghtvthe way through to the meal itself. Delicious! A wonderful way to spend our anniversary, would definitely book again and recommend. Thank you Ivana.

"I cannot say how wonderful my first experience with a personal chef was! Ivana catered for a group of 14 out of an Air BnB in Brighton. She was very helpful prior to the event with sending sample menus and suggestions for the meal which all looked amazing. On the night of she was right on time and brought everything she needed which made it very easy for the group given that we weren't ourselves familiar with the kitchen/supplies available. The meal was absolutely incredible and the group could not have been more impressed.
Thanks again for the perfect accent to a fun weekend away. No doubt I will be passing on recommendations to friends!"

We are a production company from London and used Ivana to cater for our fashion shoot in Seaford. The food was superb and matched and even surpassed many reputable catering companies we use in London and enjoyed by all all the crew and talent. Great selection of food for both meat eaters/vegetarians/vegans and presentation was top notch. Ivana was very quick to respond to emails and calls and was incredibly flexible when we threw some last minute changes at her. Highly recommended!

Ivana was absolutely great! The food was delicious and she really got the tone of the evening we were hosting. She put together a beautiful menu which was exquistely presented! Her desserts were to die for and the hen absolutely loved that we didnt have to go anywhere. Ivana was very professional and friendly, she even left the kitchen cleaner than when she started. Everyone said how much they enjoyed the food and that we would book her again in a heartbeat!

"Very professional, confident, friendly, good communication and would recommend her to anyone having a similar style dinner party.
Made the evening even more fantastic!"

Ivana and her colleague were absolutely brilliant and prepared a fantastic Spanish tapas meal for us (in a very small kitchen space too!) thank you so much - everyone really enjoyed it and I would definitely recommend you to anyone wanting a private chef in the Brighton area and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

Ivana cooked a delicious three course meal and was extremely friendly and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.

I was so thrilled to be able to get Ivana to cater for my sister's hen party. She went above and beyond to provide a Moroccan themed menu to cater to the various dietary needs of everyone, didn't bat an eyelid at having to work around 17 excited hens sharing the kitchen space and then served up the most delicious and beautifully presented mezze. People were commenting on the fusion of flavours for the rest of the weekend!

"I spend a lot of time in the kitchen at parties, so it made a refreshing change to have somebody else take care of all the cooking whilst I got to spend time with my friends.
We hardly noticed Ivana was in the kitchen as she quietly produced a wonderful meal with some beautiful flavours and combinations. The guests were commenting on the food for days after."

Ivana’s cooking was utterly delicious, possibly the most mouth watering pork belly I have ever eaten. Wonderful attention to detail, imaginative use of fresh ingredients and looked beautiful.

Ivana is an amazing chef and has a real understanding of flavours which is why she was the first, and only, choice to make our wedding cakes. We wanted a variety of cakes that were flavoured and decorated naturally. Ivana completely understood this and made us ten stunning cakes which looked beautiful together. From vegan pear and toffee (with whole pears) and sour cream and blueberry, to a two-tiered raspberry buttercream sponge for cutting. The cakes were decorated with fresh fruits and herbs and even flowers from her own garden. They were all absolutely delicious. I’m still quite amazed at how she made so many different cakes in such a short amount of time, on such a hot day too. I think she’s actually a witch!

We are so grateful to Ivana for the wonderful food she cooked for our wedding in the summer of 2016. She was incredibly accommodating to all of our guest’s requirements, and really went above and beyond by baking (delicious) dairy-free cakes. Her style of food is fresh, healthy but most of all it tastes great! She’s also a very lovely and sincere person, which was very important to us when meeting potential caterers. We would gladly recommend her services to anyone.
