Get to know me better

Being inspired by food—and the people I cook for—is the reason I cook.

I’m a private chef with over a decade of experience, blending fine-dining technique with feel-good, globally inspired flavors. I’ve cooked in respected kitchens and for private clients across New York, and internationally, creating restaurant-quality menus that still feel warm, generous, and comforting. Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a celebration with friends, or an elevated Airbnb stay, my focus is simple: beautiful ingredients, bold flavor, and a relaxed, luxurious experience where you don’t have to worry about a thing
