Hi, I’m Nisha and I’m a private chef, author and culinary creator.
Here’s our Secret List chat at the Truro Food Festival.
In our chat at the Truro Food Festival, Nisha shares her culinary philosophy, the journey from banking to private dining fame, and her favourite Cornwall spots and insider recommendations for experiencing the county’s incredible food scene.
From corporate banking boardrooms to cooking for A-list celebrities, this MasterChef UK semi-finalist has transformed her lifelong passion into one of the most sought-after private dining experiences in the country. What makes Nisha Parmar’s story so compelling? She left her corporate banking career and dived headfirst into the world of professional cooking and with dinner party slots booked up over 12 months in advance, she clearly hasn’t looked back.
Her signature dishes – think Goan Salmon Curry and Lamb Gyoza Samosa – have attracted a range of A-list clients including Joe Wicks, Ellie Goulding, Tom & Gi Fletcher, Matt & Emma Willis and Marvin & Rochelle Humes. Her debut cookbook, SHARE: Asian Inspired Dinner Party Dishes, brings her private dining magic to home kitchens.
As a private chef, she’s never happier than when cooking for others, creating dishes that everyone will savour and love. Her Asian-inspired flavours burst with unexpected twists that keep her clients coming back for more.
