HELLO. I AM JACINTA.
Private Chef & Super Foodie.
My Story
Hello and welcome to Chilli & Life, the home of spicy recipes! My name is Jacinta and I’m so glad you found my site today! I am a chef who is a major foodie and spice fan who simply loves cooking. I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember. On my website you will find my private and personal chef services, articles about food and lots of delicious recipes cooked from scratch with seasonal ingredients and lots of love. I love chilli and spicy food – truth be told I put chilli in almost everything I cook! But you can find the occasional recipe with no spice!
I’ve been living on my own since I was 17 perfecting my skills in the kitchen and learning how to cook on a budget from scratch. Now after having finally gone to culinary school I am working as a chef doing what i love to do most.
I help others plan their dream private dining experience – Chef Privé! I host private culinary events under the Eat with CANDL brand. We host Cuisine Secrète and Dégustations de Vin.
Chilli & Life was born out of a love for food and a passion for cooking. Its a place for me to document and share my recipes and passion for this space.
