Chef Wayne Buchanan

Private Chef In Hanover

As an expert chef with over 16 years of experience, I have dedicated my life to perfecting the craft of cooking. From my humble beginnings in a pizzeria, I have honed my skills through years of practice, experimentation, and study.

Over the years, I have developed a passion for creating dishes that are both visually stunning and delicious. I pride myself on my ability to invent new and exciting flavor combinations.

I have a deep understanding of the importance of using fresh and high-quality ingredients. I believe that the key to great cooking lies in the quality of the ingredients used, and I make it a point to acquire the freshest and most flavorful ingredients possible.

Whether I am creating a new dish or putting my own twist on a classic dish, my goal is always the same - to create a dining experience that is both unique and satisfying. I believe that food has the power to bring people together, and I feel honored to be able to share my love of cooking with others.

For me, cooking is...

Life, I can't see my self doing anything else. I love using fresh and new ingredients

I learned to cook at...

My grandparents home in Jamaica. My grandfather was a Chef in a cruise ship and he showed me the joy of bringing a dish to fruition.

A cooking secret...

Passion. I am passionate about what I do and I always sure that what I serve is of the highest quality.

Chef Wayne was AMAZING! He was engaging and attentive. The food was great and his cleaned up was spotless! I would definitely recommend and use him again!

Chef Wayne gave us a fantastic dining experience for my wife's 40th birthday party! The food was all delicious, and portion sizes were enormous. His beet salad was perfectly prepared, and I'm not even a huge salad person. We asked if he could get good avocados, since we just moved to the area from California, and he actually sourced California avocados for the Avo Toast (which was an over the top preparation also). He paid close attention to all the food sensitivities in the group, and even distinguished different sets of sensitivities for different individuals, creating a few special dishes for one person in particular. He made just the right amount of fun conversation with several of us, and was happy to answer any questions for any guests as he was preparing the meal. A nice thing too was that even though he and his assistant chef took over the kitchen, he was happy to make room if we needed to pop in for something, and helped me wash some berries I had brought for a few little kids in the group. Overall, a delicious meal and wonderful experience. The food was probably better than most restaurants in our area, and was prepared right in our home. Would definitely hire Chef Wayne again!

Chef Wayne made our engagement dinner very special! He was very professional, personable and the food was incredible. Highly recommend!

It was the perfect way to celebrate mine and my husband’s birthday (and the birth of our son). 11/10 would recommend!

I would highly recommend Chef Wayne. He was very professional and the food was outstanding. This was a gift for my parents for Christmas and they loved it.

Chef Wayne was nothing short of absolutely incredible. From the moment he stepped foot into our home he presented himself in a professional, friendly and charming manner. At first, we were skeptical about hiring a private chef for the first time but Chef Wayne made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease. We could not have asked for a better unforgettable experience. His portions were fantastic, the flavor was immaculate, the food was amazing and he left the house neat and clean! The passion and knowledge he has in the food industry is incredible! We HIGHLY recommend Wayne for any of your private chef needs. What an absolute pleasure it was to have him!

Chef Wayne was fantastic, he really made the entire experience wonderful, the food was delicious and he was a pleasure to have in my home.

Chef Wayne was amazing. He was super accommodating during the process of creating the menu. He was a pleasure to have in the house. His food and service were top notch. And he left the house super clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Chef Wayne.

Did a vegetarian/gluten free dinner. It was amazing.

Chef Wayne was AMAZING! From the minute front door opened he was engaging, friendly, and professional! I did this to surprise my fiancé for his birthday, and Chef Wayne made the surprise even better because he engaged us in conversation, explained his background of why food is important to him, and took the time to get to know us! Beyond his great personality, this man can cook his ass off! It was effortless to see how well he prepared the food, served it, and kept my kitchen clean while doing it all. His communication before the date was impeccable, and he caters the menu to us as the client. All in all, if you get two proposals and Chef Wayne is one of them… ALWAYS choose him. He has a natural born talent and you will not be dissatisfied!

The easiest experience to make a special night even more special.

Chef Wayne delivered a memorable and absolutely delicious 5-course meal that truly wowed us and left us yearning for more. We would recommend Chef Wayne to anyone looking for a wonderful culinary experience and hope to have him cook for us again soon.

First time having a private chef experience. Chef Wayne made it easy, fun and enjoyable. Loved it!
