Our founder, Mel: Trading in legal briefs for chef’s knives”
Mel’s journey began in the legal industry, where precision, dedication, and attention to detail defined her work as a solicitor. But her true passion simmered elsewhere: in the kitchen.
After years of practicing law, Mel followed her calling, transforming her love for cooking into a thriving business. Today, Mel’s Meals combines her legal-world professionalism with culinary artistry to deliver unforgettable dining experiences for weddings, corporate events, and intimate gatherings.
"Cooking has always been my creative outlet, a space to experiment and bring joy to those around me. After years of practicing law, I took the leap to transform my passion into a business, creating unforgettable dining experiences for weddings, corporate events, and intimate gatherings. My path into catering has been fueled by a love for creativity and connecting people through the love of food, one meal at a time. We have taken the precision and professionalism of the legal world and transformed it into a recipe for culinary success."
