Chef Mariette van den Bergh
I am a Private Chef & caterer, dedicated to creating elevated, home-style hospitality. Whether it is an event, a date night dinner or weeknight meals made easy, I bring expert cooking, great organization and a menu tailored to your preferences.
Choose from seasonal options, dietary-friendly selections and custom menus so your experience is seamless from planning to plating.
'Good food, kept simple' catering
I believe "good" doesn't have to be complicated. With fresh ingredients, simple techniques and flavor-first cooking, I create meals that taste incredible and come together smoothly.
Whether you are planning something intimate or a bigger occasion, Atmytable brings the same attention to detail, flavor and hospitality so your guests enjoy a meal they'll remember. My work is all about taking the stress out of the food so you can enjoy the moment.
As your Chef, I help you choose a menu that fits your tastes and your guests' - classic comforts, elevated favorites or seasonal specialities.
I cook with care, plate with intention and handle the behind-the-scenes details so your event feels effortless from planning to serving.
My cooking workshops
Every workshop is built around the idea that cooking can be approachable, joyful and deeply satisfying. I strive to make you feel empowered; confident enough to recreate a meal, experiment with flavors and develop your own style over time. The aim? To cook with you, guide you and celebrate food together.
You're invited into my kitchen for hands-on cooking workshops where you will learn new skills, enjoy a delicious dinner and take home recipes and inspiration to keep cooking long after the class ends.
Where we cook
Workshops are hosted in my home studio or a large industrial kitchen based in Somerset West or in the comfort of your own home, with classes designed for comfort, flow and a truly hands-on experience.
From baking to cooking, classes are about 3.5 hours of guided, step-by-step learning. I cater for small or large groups, for any celebration or year-end event.
Join the next class to learn something new, meet fellow food lovers and enjoy a meal you helped create.
When you book Atmytable, you are not just getting a meal - you are getting hospitality.
'Good food kept simple' means no fuss, no overcomplicating - just delicious, unpretentious results.

OUR STORY
At Atmytable, cooking has always been more than just food. It's connection, creativity and comfort.
My love for being in the kitchen started long before Atmytable existed and grew stronger with time as I learned that the best meals come from care, curiosity and sharing what you're passionate about.
My culinary journey started about 20 years ago, when I first fell in love with how food bring people together. I worked my way through kitchens, learning from every station, every service and every challenge - until I eventually became a Private Chef.
In that journey, I discovered something important: the best meals aren't only made with the right ingredients - they are made with care, intention and the desire to make others feel at home.
After the birth of my daughter and the Covid pandemic, I started Atmytable when community and gathering around the table felt more important than ever. What began as a personal way to create comfort and togetherness soon became something I wanted to share with others. I wanted to create a welcoming space where people could slow down, learn confidently in my kitchen, and enjoy food shared together.
I believe food should be honest and inviting. It should make you want to sit down, slow down and enjoy the moment. I am passionate about flavors, techniques and the little details that turn a meal into something memorable.
To me, being a Chef is not about perfection - it's about leadership, creativity and responsibility. It means teaching and cooking with patience, respecting ingredients and creating an experience where clients and participants feel cared for.
I look forward to hearing from you and forming a small part of your culinary moments.
