Your kitchen,
taken care of.
Weekly meal prep, intimate dinner parties, and vacation chef experiences. Seasonal ingredients, personal menus, and food that actually feels like home.
"The menu always starts at the market, not the recipe."

At home in yours.
Cooking that feels like
someone made it for you.
Because they did. I am a private chef based in Boston with a background in professional kitchens and a deep love for the kind of food that actually gets cooked and eaten. Not food for a photo. Food for a Tuesday.
I work with a small number of clients at a time so each one gets real attention, real menus, and food that actually fits their life.
Three ways to work together.
Every engagement is built around you. The service type is just the starting point.
The Weekly Kitchen
Recurring prep sessions for your household. A full fridge handled every week, tailored to how you actually eat.

So you can be at the table instead of behind the stove. Casual or formal, four guests or forty.

Your lake house, beach rental, or mountain escape. I travel, I shop, I cook. You just show up hungry.

The weekly kitchen
Seasonal & honest
Dinner parties
Right now I am cooking a lot with summer stone fruit, corn, and heirloom tomatoes.
Every week looks different because the market looks different. This is a small peek at what I have been building menus around lately. Your version would start with a conversation about what you actually want to eat.

How we can work together.
Every engagement is custom. These are the frameworks, but your inquiry shapes what we actually build.
Ongoing • Weekly
The Weekly Kitchen
A recurring prep session designed around your household's eating habits. I come in, shop if needed, cook a full spread, and leave your fridge stocked. Each week I send a proposed menu for your approval before I cook anything.
Simple, consistent, and genuinely personal.
One-Time • Recurring
Dinner Parties & Events
For the gatherings you want to actually enjoy. I handle menu design, sourcing, cooking, plating, and cleanup so you can be present from start to finish.
Intimate dinners, holiday tables, milestone celebrations. Four guests or forty.
Travel • Destination
Vacation Chef
You booked a beautiful house. Let me handle the food. I travel to your rental, shop locally on arrival, and cook daily for the duration of your stay.
Multi-day packages, morning through dinner, your group fed and happy the whole trip.
What's on
the table.
These rotate with the season and shift to fit you. A starting point, never a limitation.
Trained in kitchens.
At home in yours.
I am a private chef based in Boston with a background in professional kitchens and a deep love for the kind of food that actually gets cooked and eaten. Not food for a photo. Food for a Tuesday.
I work with a small number of clients at a time. That is not a limitation, it is the point. Every household I cook for gets real attention, real menus, and food that actually fits their life.
The best kitchens I have ever worked in were the ones that felt lived in. That is what I try to bring to yours.
Seasonal first, always
The menu follows the market, not the other way around. If it is not good right now, we are not cooking it right now.
Nothing fussy
Elegant does not mean complicated. The best meals are the ones that taste like someone actually made them for you. Technique is invisible when it is done right.
Built around you
I want to know what you love, what you avoid, and how you actually eat. The food should feel personal because it is.
Small by design
I keep my client list intentionally small. You get my actual attention, not a template.
