I am a classically trained chef from New York City's Institute of Culinary Education and have been working in the industry for over 12 years. I am proud to offer a wide range of recipes and skillsets where flavor is absolutely number 1! My specialty is plant based cuisines and working with dietary preferences without sacrificing the divine experience of indulgence. However, I can crank out all your classic comfort favourites with ease and a smile. Hosting guests for a memorable time is what it's all about for me and food is the best vehicle for nostalgia and shared joy!

For me, cooking is...

The way to highlight special occasions and tug on memories of the past through the sense of taste.

I learned to cook at...

The Institute of Culinary Education in the city that never sleeps, NYC! And in my 12 years of experience that followed!

A cooking secret...

Treating every ingredient with care and seasoning, layering flavours, and balancing textures.

Chef Janice was a wonderful chef! She recently cooked dinner for 12 guests in my home. It was a formal affair and she paid incredible attention to detail, followed my every instruction, and presented herself and her team in an extremely friendly and professional manner which was critical for its success. She was on time and well prepared for dinner, also preparing a welcome drink for my guests and printed menus for the table. The food was delicious and beautifully presented with special details on the plate which the guests noticed (like edible gold on her homemade ice cream!) She was flexible and also accommodated some specific dietary preferences with ease (dairy free and avoidance of certain ingredients in her preparation). Her team cleaned up quickly and efficiently afterward. We would most definitely use Chef Janice again and recommend her to others! Thanks Janice!

Wonderful experience. Wonderful chef and wonderful night

Chef Janice was amazing. Her meal was delicious, we would recommend her!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Chef Janice to cook a private meal for myself and a group of guests. From beginning to end, the experience was absolutely outstanding. Chef Janice proved to be not only a talented chef, but also an exceptional hostess, ensuring that everything was timed perfectly and that the evening was enjoyable for everyone.

Janice is a great chef and we had a wonderful experience (meal for 18). All aspects were perfect. We highly recommend her.

The whole experience was amazing!
