About Me
I am a Norfolk chef, returning after many years away, gaining culinary experiences in France, London, Australia and Barcelona. Wild Lulita is my private catering company specialising in deliciously healthy menus and indulgent healthier cakes. I love to make clients happy with vibrant and inspired menus. Creating wonderful moments and friendships through the joy of eating.
Always passionately dedicated to cooking beautiful and tasty food, that is naturally healthy. I try to use organic produce where possible and support local suppliers. My menus will change with the seasons, embracing the wonderful regional produce available to me in Norfolk.
Experience
Classically trained in Paris, I started my cooking career in award winning restaurants in both France and London, before heading to Australia and working as a pastry chef. My passion for healthier food came soon after, striving to find a balance in a notoriously strenuous industry. Weight gain, bad habits and exhaustion motivated me to make a change. I returned to London and took leading chef roles for healthy companies; The Pure Package, The Detox Kitchen and Deliciously Ella's Delis.
Two years ago I returned to Norfolk after spending 5 years in Barcelona, where I gained experience in many healthy establishments. Wild Lulita started as a boutique cake shop in Barcelona, before returning to the UK as a bespoke catering service.
"Absolutely first class chef. Exciting, innovating food, beautifully presented, sustainably sourced and really good to work with. Lucy is a hidden gem and worth snapping up before she gets fully booked. I have used her for years and hope to continue for many more."
Delia Goodenough
"Lucy was absolutely brilliant. She cooked for a long weekend to include food suitable for children, adults and a guest with particular dietary requirements. Everything was faultless and she was extremely organised, tidy and a pleasure to have around. I couldn’t recommend her more."
Lady Cholmondeley
"Lucy not only cooks completely delicious, tasty food - it looks amazing and is good for you! She is an utter delight to have around - my kitchen is a sadder place without her! Am hoping she will come again soon."
Fiona Cartwright
"Lucy’s food and attention to detail is second to none. Every plate looks and tastes amazing and this is from the largest retreats to the smallest gatherings. Lucy creates and combines great flavours preferring to use the freshest ingredients, which we provided. She finely-honed the menus for us, ensuring every individual was catered for. The feedback from everyone was glowing - I would work with her again in a heartbeat."
