Chris Avey no longer paints murals for a living... I have long since stopped painting professionally, I'm now working full-time in my other passion... cooking! I currently cook for some very discerning customers and you can also hire me to come and cook for you in your own kitchen. For dinner parties, birthdays, entertaining friends and special events, no need to worry about booking a table or transport. Find out more on my food website, goto www.chriscooks.co.uk or click any of the pictures above. My murals pages still exist, to see the work I used to do, click one of the pictures below.
