I have many years of experience across the culinary world, including cooking in private homes in New York, Connecticut, Key West, Palm Beach, and the Virgin Islands. I’m passionate about food, wine, and the art of entertaining, and I love helping you turn gatherings into memorable experiences.

My style is seasonal and ingredient-driven, with a focus on healthy New American cuisine. Whether it’s an intimate dinner or a family celebration, I tailor each menu to your tastes and the moment you want to create.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook to bring people together

For me, cooking is about bringing people together. I love creating meals for family events and special occasions, with food that feels welcoming, beautiful, and easy to enjoy.

I’m trained in both cuisine and wine

I trained at The Institute of Culinary Education and studied wine at the International Wine Center, both in New York City. That background helps me build balanced menus and thoughtful pairings that elevate the entire experience.

I let great ingredients do the work

My philosophy is simple: I use only the finest, freshest ingredients and let them shine. I keep flavors clean and seasonal so every dish tastes vibrant and intentional.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 177 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Italian, Latin American, Local, Seafood/Fish and Mediterranean. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in United States?

To book me in United States, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
