Chef At Home in Oakland
Get to know me better
I’m Jay Green, a self-taught chef, postpartum care expert, and creative who nourishes people through food, culture, and deeply intentional care, roo
I’m a Bay Area–based private chef & postpartum culinary specialist feeding mamas, families, and anyone who knows great food is the key to happiness (and survival). I’m self-taught, soulful, and obsessed with food that nourishes bodies and memories alike. 
I learned to cook long before I could reach the stove, watching my family throw down without recipes, just rhythm and vibes, and that intuitive style shows up in every dish I create. From nutrient-dense postpartum meals to elevated in-home dinners, I cook with heart, creativity, and zero pretension. 
Booking now for private chef nights, custom meal prep, and travel chef gigs. Food that feeds your belly and your soul? That’s the vibe.

I learned to cook at...
I learned to cook at home, surrounded by family, flavor, and food made from instinct, not instructions.
A cooking secret...
My kitchen secret is I measure with love and not cups!
