I turn seasonal ingredients into story-driven dining experiences

Image alt description

My love for cooking began in my grandmothers’ kitchens, where I learned that food is family, memory, and celebration. I refined that foundation at the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts in Boulder, Colorado, where I sharpened classical technique and a respect for craftsmanship.

With over 20 years of experience, I blend homegrown tradition with professional precision. I build menus around fresh, seasonal ingredients and dishes that tell a story—whether I’m creating an elegant Italian spread, a rustic Southern feast, or a fully custom dining experience tailored just for you.

My kitchen philosophy

I trust fresh, seasonal ingredients and cook with heart—where the flavors of tradition meet the creativity of global cuisine.

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 210 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, Chef's special, Latin American, Mediterranean 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.

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.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

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.
