“The joy of being a chef lies not only in cooking, but also in connecting people through food, forging lasting memories. Sharing the passion and witnessing the happiness it brings is a privilege. In the chaos of the kitchen, the joy of being a chef never wavers, reminding that food nourishes both the stomach and soul.”

Chef, Culinary Consultant and Cookbook Author

If cooking is an art and baking is a science, Natasha MacAller is a chef who flawlessly dances in both worlds. A former professional ballerina, Natasha known as the “DancingChef” brings the same diligence and precision to the kitchen as she did to dancing. Many people think they’re world’s apart-from ballerina to chef – but to Natasha, they are both performance arts, creative disciplines that demand dedication and hours of painstaking practice.

Author of three internationally recognized cookbooks “Vanilla Table” “Spice Health Heroes” and “Taipa Salt Pig - Recipes”, Natasha is currently working on her fourth book and continues taking great delight in creating new cooking or taste sensations, passionately designing “First and Last” dishes and retro cocktails.

Tash divides her time in Los Angeles, New Zealand and London consulting with chefs, restaurants, farmers markets and culinary events on menu and recipe development and takes great joy in teaching cooking classes to curious home cooks and up and coming chefs.
