Chef Daniella Davis

Private Chef in West Hollywood

I’m a professional chef with over 10 years of experience in the culinary world. A self-taught cook at heart, I’ve worked in restaurants, taught at culinary schools, and brought my passion for food into private homes across Los Angeles and New York over the past five years.

My experience ranges from intimate private dining to catering events of up to 250 guests. I was honored to be part of Food & Wine’s Best Chef 2015 program, and later had the incredible opportunity to compete on the Food Network’s “Guy’s Grocery Games.”

Beyond the kitchen, I’ve been featured as a speaker at the Budtender Awards and highlighted in High Times, Culture Magazine, and other culinary publications. My goal is simple: to craft memorable experiences through creativity, flavor, and heart.

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is joy. I’m fully my self and happiest when I can share my skills and experience with others.

I learned to cook at...

I’m a self taught chef however I am proud to say I’ve had experience teaching at one of the finest culinary schools in NYC.

A cooking secret...

Treating every ingredient with love and using the freshest ingredients.

We had a great time, and the food was delicious. My son has celiac disease, so the chef cooked the whole Thanksgiving feast gluten free. Impressive and thoughtful. I would use again.
