There is something unmistakably special about gathering around a table filled with beautiful, nourishing food.
In the Southern Okanagan, Private Chef Lynne Fantham has made it her mission to transform special occasions into unforgettable culinary experiences. With over a decade of expertise spanning renowned kitchens such as Quails Gate Winery, Fairmont Pacific Rim, and Middle Beach Lodge, Lynne blends refined technique with a warm, approachable style that makes guests feel truly cared for.
A dedicated Red Seal chef and certified nutritionist, Lynne understands that good food is not only about taste but also about connection and well-being. Her thoughtfully curated menus reflect a passion for local, organic ingredients and an unwavering commitment to quality. Whether you are planning an intimate lakeside dinner, a milestone celebration, or a relaxed afternoon of grazing, she offers options to suit every occasion.
Having a private chef is a wonderful way to mark special occasions without the need to dress up and head out. Instead, you can relax at home or by the lake while an experienced professional brings restaurant-level dining to you.
Her Family Style menus bring comfort and abundance to the table, while elegant three- and five-course meals showcase dishes like refreshing Green Gazpacho crowned with goat cheese and sunflower seeds, or Roasted Marinated Picanha with red wine jus. For plant-based diners, creations such as her vibrant kebabs with cherries and silky potato purée demonstrate how indulgence and health can harmoniously coexist.
No celebration is complete without something sweet—her Basil Olive Oil Cake and Affogato with shaved dark chocolate ensure a memorable finish. Those who prefer a more casual spread will delight in Lynne’s artfully arranged charcuterie boards and grazing tables featuring local meats, cheeses, fruits, and homemade breads from Oliver Eats Ltd.
If you have ever dreamed of hosting a gathering where every detail feels effortless and every bite feels inspired, Private Chef Lynne Fantham might be just what your next special occasion needs.
