Head Chef
Gemma Russel
Gemma Louise Russell
Gemma grew up in Chiddingly, a small village in Sussex England. As a child, she enjoyed cooking and always knew she wanted to be a chef.
After culinary school and a year at university studying hospitality management, Gemma spent five years traveling the world, working in hotels in Austria, France, Australia and New Zealand. After returning home, she worked in a fine-dining restaurant for four years before joining the leadership at Suryalila.
“I have always had a passion for whole foods and vegetarian cooking and when an opportunity for a head chef position came up at Suryalila, I jumped at the chance.
It is so wonderfully inspiring to have fresh produce, beautiful herbs and edible flowers coming from the garden. It truly is a joy to work here and I feel that I put that love into the food that I create at Suryalila.”
