Private chef · Shell artist

Where food meets art.

I'm Gabi. I've always seen value in what other people overlook: a half-empty fridge, a forgotten surfboard, a handful of shells on the tideline. I bring that creativity to everything I make, from the plate to the board.

About

Hi, I'm Gabrielle. Gabi to most.

As the eldest of five, I learnt early how to cook for a crowd, and how to make something delicious when the fridge was far from full. A few bits and bobs, a bit of imagination, and dinner was on the table. I still cook that way: working with what's there, whether that's a pantry, a dietary requirement or whatever's in season.

That instinct shows up everywhere. I'm drawn to the things other people have written off: second-hand furniture, old windows, a surfboard that's done its time. I'd much rather make something than buy it, and I love bringing tired things back to life.

Just Devour and my shell boards are two sides of the same thing: taking what's around me and turning it into something people remember.
