Get to know me better

Cooking is my life and I always try to make each dish a story to tell!

I have been working in the culinary field for over 12 years, building strong experience with a wide range of ingredients, techniques, and cuisines. My background has shaped a versatile and open-minded approach to cooking, allowing me to adapt and create with confidence in different culinary styles.

Growing up in a Portuguese household, I was always encouraged to explore flavors and experiment in the kitchen, which sparked my curiosity and passion for food from an early age. My professional journey began in a Japanese restaurant, an experience that introduced me to Asian cuisine and played a key role in shaping my culinary path.

Today, my cooking reflects a blend of these influences—combining bold flavors, cultural inspiration, and technical knowledge. My goal is to create dishes that are well-balanced, thoughtful, and memorable, bringing together different culinary traditions in a way that feels authentic and enjoyable.

Chef Tyrell made our family’s brunch experience truly one of a kind! Everything was absolutely delicious—the stuffed French toast, seasoned potatoes, eggs, and so much more were all excellent. What stood out most was the care and attention to every detail. Chef Tyrell beautifully prepared and plated our breakfast, made sure everything was perfect, and even left the kitchen spotless when he was finished. Thank you, Chef Tyrell, for going above and beyond and helping me create a beautiful, forever memory for my family. We truly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend you!

Thank you Chef Tyrell for helping us create a new core memory!! & for those greens!!! Can’t stop thinking about them ???? so gooooood!! ????????????

We had a great dinner from Chef Ty! The team was able to help set up the table to enhance the experience. The appetizer, the dumplings, were our favorite part of the meal. I'd recommend this experience!

I recently had the pleasure of having Chef TY come to my home to prepare a meal for my boyfriend's 40th birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and Chef TY was incredibly welcoming. What made it even more special was that my 4-year-old loved the food as well! It was a perfect evening filled with great food and wonderful company. Highly recommend Chef TY for any special occasion!

The set up was amazing, we were not expecting personalized menus - it was such a nice touch. They also setup the table for us nicely and were very accommodating to the changes we wanted to the menu. I highly recommend!

The experience was fun!

Chef Ty is super professional and his food is super tasty. I’m so glad I was able to book him and try his delicious meals. This is such an amazing experience you should definitely try if you can afford it

Effortless, delicious and relaxing. Great experience and a great way to enjoy a meal with your family while traveling. I would highly recommend.

Was a great experience that me and my wife will never forget.

Great food and presentation. Made the bachelor party meal a fantastic time

Chef Tyrell was incredible!! My fiancés dream dish was to have beef Wellington, so for his birthday I decided to book through takeachef.com not knowing what to expect. Chef Tyrell sent a proposal of exactly what I was looking for. Not only was the food better than I could have ever imagined, the ambience and experience was unforgettable. The table was set, menus were printed for each guest, and his upbeat personality kept the party pumping! We felt like royalty. The appetizer, course, and dessert were perfectly timed. At the end of the night he left my kitchen spotless. I highly recommend Chef Tyrell for any event. Thank you for making my fiancé’s birthday so special.
