Hudson Valley based private chef offering elevated vegan and plant-based cuisine, allergy-aware menus, and elegant grazing tables for all your needs

I’m a Hudson Valley–based private chef and culinary school graduate specializing in elevated vegan and plant-based cuisine. My work is rooted in seasonality, thoughtful sourcing, and refined presentation, with menus designed to feel both nourishing and indulgent. I cook for families, intimate dinners, and private gatherings, and I’m highly experienced in accommodating all allergies and dietary needs with care and discretion.

I’m known for creating beautiful grazing and charcuterie tables that balance abundance with elegance, making them ideal for celebrations and curated events. Whether preparing weekly meals or catering special occasions, I bring a calm, professional presence and an eye for detail to every kitchen I enter. Flexible, responsible, and deeply attentive to my clients’ needs, I aim to create seamless, elevated dining experiences that feel personal, effortless, and memorable—reflecting the understated luxury and natural beauty of the Hudson Valley.
