Private Chef Experience:
I’ve been working with clients since 2012 and pride myself in my ability to cook according to their dietary requirements and taste preferences. Nothing brings me more joy then making my principals happy through good quality food. In addition to cooking for families, I also have experience and occasionally offer catering services. I have experience catering parties as small as 2 and up to 50. I also work with clients who have strict and unique dietary requirements and I am always willing to work with you on what you need. I am available for in-home preparation, as well as scheduled drop off meal preparation. I mainly provide these services in NYC, but am open to travel depending on the scope of the project!
My food ethos is driven by the seasons and my commitment to cooking honest food that doesn’t hide behind any mask. I try to always evoke emotion in my food so that those who are eating it can be brought back to a memory . Time and place, the dapple of sunshine, the soft salt tinged breeze all play a part in how I cook. My fifteen years of experience in cooking has given me a strong sense of self in how I’ll curate menus and the approach I take with preparation. Of course, I’ll always defer to the client as to what they want and work closely with them to custom tailor menus that suit their taste and provide them with nourishment and joy.
