Private Chef Rachel Diamond

I started my cooking journey as a kid helping my mom in the kitchen. Whether it was stirring, chopping, or plating, I found it fascinating. In high school, I started reading cookbooks for fun and making dinners from scratch for the family. In between my studies in college, I was hosting Halloween parties with fun, themed foods (brain cake or brownie graveyard, anyone?!), as well as making delicious turkey with all the sides for Thanksgiving.

As someone fortunate enough to have both Jewish and Christian heritage, I got to help make Christmas and Easter dinners as well as Chanukah dinner and our family's Passover Seder. It is truly an honor to be able to make the food so dear to my family and ancestry.

Now, I have my own company, where I get to share my love of food with you!

In addition to the big holiday meals, I also offer weekly meal prep service. I love knowing that each family has a menu curated to their needs and preferences, that they will enjoy. Families are no longer stressed in the kitchen, but can reclaim their time enjoying nice evenings connecting with loved ones over restaurant-quality meals specially made for them in their own homes.

When I'm not cooking, I'm traveling around the globe, most recently to South Africa on safari!

For me, cooking is...

A joyful passion. Good food brings people together creating lifelong memories.

I learned to cook at...

Home. I loved helping in the kitchen growing up which translated into decades of cooking and baking for myself and others.

A cooking secret...

Don’t be afraid. The kitchen is a playground to create exciting and inviting dishes using interesting ingredients unlocking all the delicious flavor.
