Get to know me better

Luxury Personal Chef with 20+ years of experience creating refined, globally inspired cuisine, personalized menus, and exceptional dining experiences.

I am a Toronto-based Personal Chef and Culinary Professional with over 20 years of experience working across fine dining, international cuisines, catering, restaurant leadership, culinary education, and menu development.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with exceptional ingredients, lead professional culinary teams, develop menus, open restaurants, and create memorable dining experiences. My background as a Regional Chef overseeing multiple restaurant kitchens has given me a strong foundation in culinary technique, organization, leadership, and delivering consistently high standards.

As a private chef, I take a highly personalized approach to every client. I work closely with each individual or family to understand their tastes, lifestyle, nutritional goals, and entertaining needs, creating menus that are tailored specifically to them. My services range from intimate multi-course dinners and elegant private events to ongoing household cooking, weekly meal preparation, and health-conscious menus.

My cooking is ingredient-driven, globally inspired, and focused on balance, flavour, and presentation. I have extensive experience working with premium ingredients, including exceptional seafood, premium cuts of meat, seasonal produce, and caviar. I enjoy combining refined culinary techniques with fresh, approachable food that is both exciting and enjoyable.

I also offer support beyond the kitchen, including menu development, ingredient sourcing, meal planning, private entertaining, and culinary organization. My goal is to make the entire experience seamless, from planning the menu to presenting the final dish.

I currently teach pasta-making at Eataly, which reflects another part of my passion for food: sharing knowledge and creating meaningful culinary experiences.

For me, being a private chef is about much more than preparing great food. It is about understanding my clients, anticipating their needs, and creating an elevated yet comfortable experience built around exceptional food, professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail.
