Novy represents a growing movement of private chefs redefining home hosting. Her focus on uncompromising authenticity—sourcing native aromatics and grinding spice pastes by hand—offers clients an elevated, culturally rich alternative to standard catering.
What the slow, heavy crush of granite releases that no blade ever can—and why the pace of the pestle is the true foundation of Indonesian flavour.
Good Indonesian food is all about balance. Along with fiery sambals and rich curries, Novy prepares fresh, healthy juices and traditional herbal tonics (Jamu). Packed with fresh fruit, citrus, and natural roots, these vibrant pink and purple drinks cool the palate and keep every meal light, fresh, and balanced.
When a Malaysian bride and French groom wed at a private château in France, Novy was invited to bring the heat. Serving handcrafted traditional Indonesian snacks alongside the classic French menu, she brought authentic archipelago spice and heritage to an unforgettable cross-cultural celebration.
