Chef Services
There are plenty of options for by-the-numbers culinary experiences. You won’t find those here. That’s because I have a passion for creating hyper-tailored private chef experiences. I design your menu and experience around your personal tastes, curiosities, and ambitions.
With 25 years of professional experience—colored by the deeply service-focused insights I’ve gained from a career in a hospitality-driven field—I pride myself on setting expectations high. And then exceeding them.
Culinary Ethos
I believe what happens outside of the kitchen is just as important as what happens inside and take a holistic approach to natural, from-scratch cooking.
This means purchasing ethically sourced products, prioritizing local and organic ingredients, engaging in sustainable practices, maximally minimizing waste, supporting small businesses and producers, helping empower female entrepreneurs, lifting up my community, and championing others who operate their businesses ethically while treating their employees well.
And I make the most of my space with a home herb garden, which I hope you’ll soon taste.
Private Chef
Skip the chafing dishes and cookie-cutter menus.
Treat your guests to a live-catered experience with an on-site chef. We can prepare everything from hors d’oeuvres to family-style dining to multi-course tasting menus.
Whether casual or fine dining, we’ll create dinner parties, business events, weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, and celebratory gatherings that will delight your guests that leave a lasting impression.
Weekly Meal Prep
We make restaurant-caliber food easily accessible at home!
Your meals for the week will be planned, prepped, packaged, and delivered with instructions that take your schedule and cooking skills into consideration.
Each meal is specially prepared to preserve the quality of the finished product–making sure you don’t have to worry about having high-quality, nourishing food available whenever you need (or want) it.
Provisions
Make your grocery budget count!
I directly source organic farm-direct products, including small distributor meats, dairy, and eggs. Treat yourself to made-from-scratch, preservative-free condiments and sundries.
Put your grocery dollars where they matter: directly into the hands of farmers, producers, and small local distributors.
Cooking Classes
It’s time to meet your inner chef!
Learn anything from cooking basics to culinary complexities with one-on-one classes. Gather friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, or total strangers for an immersive group cooking experience. Or focus on mastery of specific techniques with specialized instruction.
Life tastes so much better when know how to cook. I’m excited to teach you!
Commercial & Home
The first step for every meal is preparation.
The success of a chef might be ultimately measured by the tastebud, but an entire field of knowledge goes into every meal that makes it to a plate. I am proud to offer a wide range of consulting services for your restaurant or home, including kitchen design, system planning and implementation, menu development, culinary event coordination, restaurant consultation, and much more.
