Private chef  ·  Chicago  ·  Available to travel

Dinner, done properly — at your table, or ready in your fridge.

Seasonal, produce-driven cooking — a rotating menu delivered weekly, or a full dinner planned and cooked at your table. Every plate built around what’s good this week, not a fixed script.

My favorite way to cook

In-home private dinners

A menu composed around your kitchen, your guests, and the occasion, served at your own table. From an intimate dinner for two to a multi-course evening for a dozen.

Seasonal, made entirely from scratch, with dietary needs considered from the first conversation. Your kitchen is left exactly as I found it.

Weekly

Meal prep

A rotating weekly menu, prepared in batches and delivered to your door. A deliberately short client list keeps every order personal.

Occasions

Events and private pop-ups

Weddings, celebrations, corporate dinners, and small pop-ups, with full menu design and service.

Ongoing

Residential placements

Private-chef work for a household, including full-time in-home roles and time aboard a private yacht.

Let’s plan a dinner.

Share a few details and I’ll reply personally with a proposed menu, usually within a day or two.
