Private Chef Lucy Liddle, Méribel and Courchevel

Lucy Liddle is a freelance private chef based in Méribel, cooking dinner parties and catered holidays for guests across Méribel and Courchevel. Expect seasonal, beautifully put-together food and a relaxed evening where the only thing you have to do is enjoy it.

Lucy has been cooking as a private chef since 2004, and she’s never been one to stay in one kitchen for long. Her career has taken her through restaurants, game lodges, private houses, villas, ski chalets, super yachts and some seriously remote camps.

She loves to see the world through her work and has a habit of saying yes to the challenging jobs. She set up an in-house private dining business for a fusion restaurant in the north of Japan. She cooked at a salmon fishing camp in the Arctic Circle in north-western Russia, where the only way in is by helicopter. She also helped launch a brand-new backcountry ski touring lodge deep in the interior of British Columbia, which, you guessed it, is also helicopter-access only.

Closer to the sea and the sun, Lucy has cooked on super yachts in the Med and in villas in Provence. She also has many years of experience on the estates of the Scottish Highlands, in her home country of Scotland.

Wherever she lands, Lucy explores the local area and sources the best seasonal produce she can find, then designs creative menus tailored to each client. She also has a real passion for vegetarian, vegan and plant-based menus, and for cooking for guests with food allergies.

Big news for this winter: Lucy has recently become a mum! After a career of helicopters, yachts and Arctic camps, her newest and most demanding client is much smaller and much louder. With less time on her hands, she’ll be focusing on dinner parties this winter. So if you’re after a beautiful evening of food without the stress of hosting, now’s the perfect time to get in touch.
