Amelia Seko

Cuisine of Choice: Japanese

Chef Amelia has close to two decades of experience in Japanese cuisine, from the luxurious, to the comforting, and is now an in-house chef with Anatta Culinary Academy researching and developing recipes, and teaching the delicate culture of Japanese cuisine to her students.

Chef Amelia first experienced the elegance of Japanese cuisine when she met and married her late husband from Kyushu, Japan. She began her culinary journey by reading Japanese cookbooks and watching cooking shows, and also by learning authentic and comforting recipes from her sister-in-law.

In 2010, Chef Amelia kick-started her career in Japanese cuisine when she first entered the world of private dining by curating and creating exquisite and authentic Japanese dishes for her clients. Her extensive experience in replicating Japanese dishes honed her skills and knowledge in the art of Japanese dining, right down to the cultural aspects, and brought her to her next stint as a guest chef in Palate Sensations Culinary School.

Stepping into the realm of planning for and teaching cooking classes allowed Chef Amelia to discover her affinity for instructing students, and she went on to broaden her horizon of culinary education by undertaking classes at other culinary schools like AllSpice Institute, Baker & Cook, at international, and even Ministry of Education schools. Chef Amelia is also a hot favourite among corporate team building clients for her engaging and clear instructional methods.
