I bring restaurant-level technique to warm, personal meals in your own kitchen.

I offer personal chef services, small dinner parties prepared in your kitchen, and culinary instruction for individuals, couples, and small groups.

Professionally trained in French techniques, I’ve spent years cooking and teaching through catering, personal chef work, and culinary education. My approach draws on farm-to-table and seasonal cooking, plant-based inspiration, and Northern New Mexican flavors—and lately I’ve been rekindling my love of bread baking with sourdough starters and classic pre-ferments like biga and poolish.

What you can expect when you cook and dine with me

Cooking is my creative outlet

Cooking is my primary creative outlet, and I bring that energy to every menu—balancing classic technique with seasonal ingredients and thoughtful, satisfying flavors.

A grounded path from home cook to professional training

I taught myself to cook at home, and then I built on that foundation with professional training at the Culinary School of the Rockies in Boulder, Colorado. Since then, I’ve developed my craft through years of teaching and cooking for clients in real kitchens and real gatherings.

I honor the process

My secret in the kitchen is honoring the process of cooking—taking the time to do things right, so the meal feels effortless at the table and truly memorable for you and your guests.

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 216 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 Latin American, Chef's special, Local, Italian and Seafood/Fish. 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 Family reunion and Romantic night. 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.
