An intimate form of storytelling—a way to connect, create, and express love without saying a word.

Blending intuition with technique—trusting my palate, honoring the ingredients, and always cooking with love.
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 175 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.
I cook Chef's special, Seafood/Fish, Italian, Latin American and Mediterranean. 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.
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.
Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Friends gathering 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.
