Get to know me better

Passionate about eating, so I learned how to cook.

I’m a Michelin-trained chef with more than seven years of experience working in some of the world’s most respected kitchens. Today, I focus on creating private dining experiences that feel personal, refined, and truly memorable. Whether you’re looking for an elegant multi-course dinner, weekly gourmet meal prep, or catering for a special celebration, I bring the discipline, creativity, and precision of a Michelin-level kitchen directly to your home.

My cooking is grounded in seasonal, high-quality ingredients and a commitment to technique. Every dish is prepared with care and attention to detail, with the goal of giving you a restaurant-quality experience in a comfortable and intimate setting.
