Elia Muñoz Carulla is an Alumni of Le Cordon Bleu London. She has been dedicated to the world of food industry for over 10 years with experience in catering, events as BBC GOOD FOOD SHOW and what she is most enthusiastic about: being a private chef. Born in Madrid, she discovered her great passion in traditional home cooking as a child, always being the little helper to her mother and grandmother whom to this date, she still considers the best cooks. Spending summers in the seaside town of Valencia and working in the family restaurant, she decided to obtain her culinary school degree in Madrid, whilst gaining experience in catering and events. Keen to discover traditional Italian cuisine, she went to Vicenza (North Italy) to study at the University of Taste where she met her fiancé, with whom she later together decided to pursue a professional career in London, working as a chef at restaurants and attending Cuisine at Le Cordon Bleu. She also specialised in handmade fresh pasta at "La vecchia scuola bolognese" (the old Bolognese school in Bologna, Italy) Here, Elia discovered her true passion for being a private chef, focusing on traditional and modern Spanish, Italian and French food culture, using exquisite hand picked ingredients.

A great experience. From the food to the chef to the logistics
I am professional chef with 25 years of experience. I have started my journey in my hometown: Krakow, Poland at the age of 15. After finishing 4 year of culinary art college, I gained experience working in top restaurants. At the age of 23, I left Poland and moved to Jersey in Channel Island where I gained classic French style coking. In 2008 I moved to UK and since then, I have been working in various high-end restaurants and gastropubs in Oxford, Warwick and Leamington Spa. Recently I quit my full time job to focus on setting up my Catering business and delivering high quality services across Midlands and Warwickshire.
