Together, we’ll prepare a beautiful seasonal 3-course meal using fresh, local ingredients — and I’ll guide you every step of the way with pro tips, techniques, and stories from over a decade of chef life.
Whether you’re a confident home cook or a total beginner, this is a relaxed, joyful way to deepen your skills, ask questions, and connect through food. Once we’ve created your feast, you’ll sit down and enjoy it — no dishes, no stress, just good food and good company.

Once your date is confirmed, I’ll check in to understand your preferences, dietary needs, and any must-haves. Then I’ll design a custom, seasonal menu just for you. On the day, I’ll arrive with everything needed, cook in your kitchen, plate each course beautifully, and leave your space spotless.

Private dining experiences are available for groups of 2 to 12 guests. Whether it’s an intimate dinner for two or a special gathering with friends, I’ll tailor the menu and experience to suit.
