I design personalized menus that turn any gathering into a memorable experience.

I’m a seasoned chef with extensive experience creating exquisite culinary experiences, and I’ve had the privilege of serving prestigious clients such as the European Union, the New Zealand government, Facebook, and New York Fashion Week.

With a deep understanding of diverse cuisines and dietary requirements, I craft personalized menus that truly delight. I also founded my own company offering catering, event services, private chef services, and unique spices—so whether it’s an intimate dinner or a grand event, I bring quality, creativity, and unwavering attention to client satisfaction.

For me, cooking is an art form that allows me to express my creativity and passion while bringing joy and memorable experiences to those I serve.

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 176 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 Chef's special and Local. 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.
