Maciek Oleksy, private chef, cook, event in the garden, Baghaven

Consultations.

There are times when you need a spark—a sounding board, a soothing voice, or a new viewpoint from someone who has been in the kitchen and experienced the creative process.

I work with cooks, restaurants, artists, and food lovers who want to rediscover their passion, learn and experiment with new concepts, and bring more joy into what they do. Together, we will explore:

  • Menu & Concept Development – create dishes, recipes and concepts that excite and inspire.

  • Kitchen Team Dynamics & Workflow – building harmony, efficiency, and flow.

  • Mentoring & Creative Direction – guidance to improve your skills and confidence.

  • Burnout Recovery & Food-Life Balance – regaining joy in the kitchen and beyond.

  • Cooking Questions & Stuck Points – solve challenges with clarity and creativity.

  • Food & Art Experiences – design immersive dinners, pop-ups, or events that combine flavour, creativity, and storytelling.
