Good Food, Made Personal

I believe some of the best meals are the ones enjoyed around your own table.

Based in Portland, Oregon, I offer private chef services built around fresh, seasonal ingredients and menus designed specifically for the people I’m cooking for. My approach to food is ingredient-driven and approachable—taking inspiration from what’s available locally and combining it with flavors and techniques from cuisines I love.

Rather than offering a fixed menu or one-size-fits-all experience, I work with each client to create something that fits the occasion. That might mean an intimate multi-course dinner at home, a refrigerator stocked with thoughtfully prepared meals for the week, or a relaxed catered gathering with friends and family.

Private Dinners

Bring the restaurant experience home without making your kitchen feel like a restaurant. I create customized menus for intimate dinners, celebrations, date nights, and special occasions, taking care of the planning, shopping, cooking, service, and cleanup so you can spend the evening with your guests.

Personal Meal Prep

For clients who want to eat well during the week without spending their free time planning, shopping, and cooking, I offer recurring meal-prep services tailored to your household. Menus can be built around dietary preferences, favorite foods, and seasonal ingredients, with meals prepared and ready to enjoy throughout the week.

Catering & Gatherings

From dinner parties and birthdays to small events, retreats, and celebrations, I offer flexible catering built around the same philosophy as my private dinners: great ingredients, thoughtful menus, and food that feels appropriate for the occasion. Whether you’re looking for a family-style feast, passed bites, or a more polished coursed meal, we can create a menu and service style that fits your event.

Rooted in Portland

Living and cooking in the Pacific Northwest means having access to an incredible variety of farms, producers, seafood, and seasonal ingredients. Whenever possible, I source locally and let what’s fresh and in season help shape the menu.

Ultimately, my goal is simple: make it easier to gather around really good food. Whether I’m cooking dinner for two, preparing meals for your week, or feeding a room full of your favorite people, I want the experience to feel personal, relaxed, and memorable.
