Private Chef & Baker

I was raised in a home that values shared meals and cooking as a group activity, and have continued to center food and cooking in my life as I have grown older. After completing my degree in public health and food studies, I went on to work in kitchens and bakeries throughout New York City. I learned the ins and outs of kitchen life, but my favorite part of the job was making staff meal for my coworkers. Getting creative with the ingredients on hand and making unfussy, nourishing meals to support the staff through the rest of their shift was often more fun for me than my actual job! 

I love cooking because I love eating - and eating is much more fun when your food makes you feel good. I look forward to working with you to create meals that you and your family can feel good about.

I’m currently available for private cooking, small-scale catering and bakery consulting.
