I create mindful, seasonal dining experiences—from casual gatherings to refined menus—using local ingredients and minimizing waste.

Yanna Hermoso

I cook mindfully, celebrating local ingredients and bringing people together around one table.

I’m a chef originally from the Philippines, where I graduated with a Culinary Arts and Hospitality degree. I moved to Australia in 2018 and immersed myself in the diverse food culture here, especially the incredible native ingredients.

With 10 years of kitchen experience across different global cuisines and techniques, I’ve seen firsthand how big the impact of food waste can be. That’s why I minimize waste whenever I can and lean on local, seasonal produce. I’m easygoing and flexible—I can cater from casual to fine dining, and I can also offer food-drop style menus for a more budget-friendly option delivered in boxes.

Get in touch

For me, cooking is gathering people at one table and enjoying the company and the deliciousness of the food.

I cook to connect people

I believe cooking is about gathering people at one table—sharing great conversation, genuine company, and food that feels generous and joyful.

I bring a well-rounded culinary background

I trained in culinary school in the Philippines and completed Commercial Cookery in Melbourne, and I’ve built on that foundation through years of hands-on kitchen work across different cuisines and techniques.

I keep it grounded and sustainable

My secret in the kitchen is that I grow my own vegetables at home, and I carry that same mindset into every menu—seasonal choices, thoughtful sourcing, and doing my best to reduce waste.
