An extensively travelled chef, he has learned a global range of cooking techniques, even taking a culinary course whilst on his honeymoon in Borneo! Growing up in a small town close to the Hertfordshire countryside, he spent many days taking country walks throughout the year and learned of the places that would offer forageable foods such as wild garlic, elderflower, lemon balm and blackberries. Some of Dan's menu's are heavily influenced by the country and particularly game season, his favourite time of the year.
Dan favours seasonal ingredients, enjoys foraging and feels strongly about animal welfare, sourcing his meat only from reliable sources. His cooking philosophy is to keep things simple, because if you are using the right ingredients at the right time of year, then they should speak for themselves. Read all Hide. The chef brings all ingredients, prepares the meal in your kitchen, serves each dish, and does the washing up before leaving. Me and my boyfriend had an excellent experience with La Belle Assiette.
It was a pleasure to have the chef Dan Knowles in our home and he cooked us a superb 5 course meal. He was friendly and professional, and explained each dish to us as he presented them.

The food was delicious and he created a wonderful atmosphere in our home. We had such a wonderful evening with chef Dan Knowles preparing the most amazing dishes, in the comfort of our own home. As new parents we couldn't easily go out for a nice meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary but still wanted to mark the occasion - La Belle Assiette provided exactly the service for us to be able to do this in style!
Their service was first class from beginning to end and I cannot recommend Dan highly enough! I definitely plan to use La Belle Assiette in the future! We were celebrating my best friends 30th birthday and Dan made this a special and unique evening to remember! Dan was warm and friendly and spoilt us with a delicious 3 course meal and left us no work to do! We were really impressed with the quality of the food and was nice to be able to enjoy it in the luxury of your own space. I would recommend dan to anyone looking for a private chef as we had zero complaints!
Thanks so much dan! We would like to thank firstly La Belle Assiette for their professionalism in finding us a Private Chef to cook for us. This was a new dining experience for us, the chef came to our appartment and cooked the the most amazing meal. Our chef for the evening was Dan Knowles. From the moment he arrived, we had a lovely chat, he then continued on to the kitchen to prepare the most amazing food, needles to say we ate everything that he served, clean plates all round. It did not feel like we had a stranger cooking our celebration meal but that Dan was part of our party.
We would like to thank Dan for the most amazing time and we would highly recommend him to anyone for cooking that special meal. Also when Dan was finished he washed and cleaned everything, the kitchen was left just the way he found it. Pity he doesn't live in Ireland. Dan prepared a beautiful meal for 11 of us.
Everything from appetiser to desert was delicious. Very professional, nothing to fault. What a great evening!

Dan was very professional, well-prepared, very friendly and obliging with tips and tricks! We chose his Asian-influenced menu and had seconds of every course, it was so delicious! We had Thai Fish Cakes to begin, which were polished off before we remembered to take a photo! This was followed by a heavenly Thai Beef Salad. The meat was so tender and tasty, and the chilli, basil and mint was excellently balanced. Then, Duck Penang.

Again the spice and the textures were delicious, and the duck was perfectly cooked. For dessert, we had Panna Cotta with lemongrass and passion fruit, and Dan kindly conjured up an exotic fruit salad for my husband who has a dairy allergy. It was all amazing and I would recommend Dan without hesitation. Thank you so much, Dan, for a lovely evening! We all ate very well and I look forward to another opportunity to sample another of your menus!
Dan's brunch was amazing, really well thought out and each dish was delivered to perfection with the taste to match. I was really impressed! Dan was an incredible and friendly chef! He asked questions to make sure we were all comfortable as well. Dan was just as lovely as his food!

A relaxed atmosphere was maintained and he was very friendly while remaining professional. The food was full of flavour and delicious and a special dish not included on the menu was a nice touch! The portion sizes and presentation were also perfect. Would highly recommned this chef and service. Dan was an angel. A great warm welcoming energy with the culinary skills to match. French toast was incredible!
I favour seasonal dishes and whenever possible, like using ingredients I have foraged myself, as you can see from my pictures. My dishes are flavoursome and well-presented: every component to a dish should get the same care and attention as the main event. I believe that a variety of textures is as important in a dish as the variety of flavors and the quality of the presentation.
I love Jerusalem artichokes: although they are all knobbly and a lot of work to prepare, they are absolutely worth it, due to their unique earthy flavor. I enjoy cooking with lemongrass: I love the fragrance and pungency it brings to each dish it is used in, be it savoury or sweet. I use Madeira wine in many of my jus', sauces and desserts: it is a very versatile ingredient that brings such richness and depth of flavor to a dish.
I also thoroughly enjoy the social aspect of the job and the interaction with my clients.
