I’m Chef Efraim Vasquez, the culinary mind behind Simone Private Chef Services, where I blend technique, creativity, and heartfelt hospitality to create unforgettable dining experiences. My style is rooted in bold flavors, refined presentation, and a deep respect for ingredients. Whether I’m crafting a multi-course tasting menu, designing a luxury in-home event, or preparing comforting dishes with a modern twist, my focus is always on quality, connection, and service.
With years of experience cooking for families, discerning travelers, and high-end clients across the Hudson Valley and Central Florida, I’ve learned that great food is about more than cooking—it’s about listening, adapting, and elevating every moment. My goal is simple: to bring restaurant-level excellence into the places where people feel most at home.
