Events Made Easy

Private chef Alec Tomasso in Hertfordshire

Meet the Chef

Hi! I'm Alec (The weeping chef) Tomasso, 

I appeared on MasterChef 2012. I was a building engineering manager with a passion for cooking. Being on the show gave me the opportunity and drive to change my career, after staging in several restaurants and private venues I did a pop-up in Bedford after which I began to do street-food and private dining.


It's now been over 10 years and I'm still having a blast, whether I'm cooking for corporate events, weddings, Barbeques, or street-food events, my ethos stays the same; High quality produce, sourced locally, cooked expertly, and delivered with a smile! (unless I'm really focused 😅)


During the pandemic I cooked and delivered meals for the NHS, and built a mobile kitchen out of an old horse trailer (with history and character) which I use to deliver mobile catering, from wedding catering, Film catering, breakfasts, lunches, private chef dinners, to BBQ and street-food but worry not if you have no space for a trailer at your event the DoBQ my firepit BBQ is great for that garden party!


A new offering I have available is the catered weekend, if you're planning to rent a house, lodge, villa, etc, you will be able to enjoy your self catering retreat with me cooking your bespoke meals, just provide me with my own room and I'll take care of the food, it's a great alternative to renting hotels for staff training and an ideal solution for that weekend family get-together.
