Khun Oula
Special skill: Seafood
Lovely and bubbly by nature, Parichat Yoodee (called Oula affectionately) was born in Bangkok, Thailand, where she graduated in Home economics specialising in Thai Cooking. She then came to London in 1990 to further her cooking skills, and found employment in the Blue Elephant on January 1991. Oula has not looked back since.

Her skills have grown considerably working under different chefs. Ten years experience in the Blue Elephant kitchens along with her exceptional abilities as an organiser earned her the coveted position of filling in for the Executive Chef when the restaurant was without one for a period of time. Oula remains in the kitchens today, keeping up the spirits in the kitchen with her lively nature and sparkling personality. Indeed, it would be a dull place without her.
