About me

My name is Josh Talmud. I’ve been working in the food industry for more than 20 years, managing kitchens, developing menus and learning to cook the food I love to eat. I initially learnt the trade at Melrose and Morgan, a well-known British grocers, where, working alongside incredible chefs, I acquired a love and respect for high quality ingredients cooked simply.

I then spent a year in a camper van travelling around Europe with my family, getting inspired by the wonderful tastes and smells of the Mediterranean.

On my return to London I was lucky enough to join Ottolenghi alumnus Josh Katz helping him to open his first restaurant, Berber & Q. Shortly after we opened Shawarma Bar in Clerkenwell and Carmel in Queens Park where we focused on live fire cooking, and the vibrant flavours of North Africa and the Eastern Med.

A few years ago I decided to go it alone, cooking the food I love for private parties and events. I have been catering for private events for the last few years and will continue to do so. You can find out more about my catering service here.

I'm now excited to share my food with you at your home. My new venture will offer a constantly changing range of genuinly good food, delivered straight to your door. Helping you and your family eat exciting and healthy food throughout the week, and simplify your lives.

I hope I can cook for you.
