Private chef in Calgary creating custom in-home dining experiences– from multi-course tasting menus to celebration dinners and dietary-inclusive menu

Hello, I’m Chef Janice; a Calgary-based private chef specializing in curated, restaurant-quality dining experiences in your home.

With over 13 years of culinary experience and classical training in New York City, I create custom menus for intimate dinners, celebrations, retreats, and special gatherings. My style blends refined technique with warm, relaxed hospitality– so your evening feels elevated but never formal.

I’m known for seasonal, ingredient-driven cooking, thoughtful presentation, and seamless in-home service. Every menu is personalized to your tastes and dietary needs, including plant-based, gluten-free, and allergy-aware dining, without compromising flavour or beauty.

From menu planning to grocery sourcing, cooking, plating, and clean-up, I handle every detail.
