The global standard in bespoke fine dining

Tony, the founder and director of Cook Live, is a tour de force. Without experiencing his mastery first-hand, his brand of skill and versatility would be difficult to believe. But to perform at his level is no mean feat. Tony has spent the better part of three decades challenging the bedrock of food, food culture and the food industry — tackling every conceivable challenge with drive, bravery and optimism.

This journey has nurtured Tony through a variety of sought-after disciplines — both in and out of the kitchen — and it is ultimately what led him to establish Cook Live in 2011.

Featuring a stellar selection of hand-picked suppliers and partners — including bands, florists, photographers, and videographers, as well as everything you’d expect within the realms of food, drink and events — nothing that Cook Live touches is run-of-the-mill. Each and every member of the team is a specialist at the very top of their game, and Cook Live provides a truly complete service — all within a single, familiar point of contact.
