I bring people together through creative, heartfelt food and thoughtful pairings.

I was born and raised in Northern California, and I’ve spent the last ten years in catering, curating memorable dining experiences that feel both elevated and welcoming.

One of my proudest career highlights has been building my own food-and-wine-pairing tour business across several cities. Whenever I can, I love sharing practical cooking tips and pairing guidance so every meal feels interactive, fun, and personal.

I study dishes and learn how they’re authentically made, so I can choose the right herbs and spices to bring out the optimum flavor.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with creativity and love

For me, cooking is bringing creativity and love to each dish. Food is universal, and I’m passionate about creating experiences that help people connect through what we share at the table.

My inspiration is rooted in discovery

Food has been a love of mine since I was a young girl, and living in Belgium is where I truly gained a deeper appreciation for different flavors. That experience shaped how I build menus today—balanced, curious, and full of contrast.

I focus on authenticity and flavor precision

I’m always studying dishes and how they’re authentically made. I pay close attention to herbs and spices so I can dial in the details that bring each dish to its peak flavor.

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 149.60 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 Mediterranean, Local, French, Japanese and Italian. 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.
