I have been cooking in fine dining kitchens for almost 10 years, focusing mostly on new American, European, and coastal Mediterranean cuisines. Focusing on seasonal ingredients, classic cooking traditions, and precision of technique are the foundations of how I work with food. Over the years, I’ve gravitated towards working with fresh pasta, bread, grilling, and pastry. In addition, I’ve spent years studying wine, and love crafting food and beverage pairings.

I enjoy cooking the most when it involves crafting a wholistic experience: the space, the type of guests, the table setting, the flow of the menu, the wine pairing, sometimes a vague theme. Working with food is only half the joy for me, because I find the organization and planning process highly rewarding, as well.

For me, cooking is...

How I connect with and care for others.

I learned to cook at...

the Culinary Institute of America and graduated with high honors.

A cooking secret...

understanding technique :)

So amazing!!! I’ve never had a private chef before and it was such an amazing experience for hosting. Recommend Angela 1000x over

She was very organized and efficient. She dealt with us before the event very thoroughly and carefully, and was accommodating when we wanted to make changes. She was careful about setting up appointments on the phone before hand and we got everything that we wanted. She was punctual, neat and pleasant. The food was presented very well. Everything she promised was there. The food was very delicious. She helped arrange candles on the cake for my daughter‘s birthday.

Angela is very professional and her facciaca is really good. Highly recommended.

We had the pleasure of having Chef Angela cook for our family, and she was absolutely lovely. From the moment she arrived, it was clear how knowledgeable and well-educated she is when it comes to food pairings and creating a truly memorable dining experience. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced in flavor. She made us feel completely at ease in our own home, and her warm personality made the evening even more special. Our entire family loved her, and we can’t wait to have her back again!
