The Chef

As a certified Chef de Cuisine with more than 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry, I've honed my skills alongside some of the best in the business. I believe food should be delicious, simple and fun. I have held every position from the dishwasher to the owner of  my own restaurant. For the last 5 years, I've been working as a Personal Chef, bringing restaurant-quality meals to the comfort of my clients' homes. Quality, Respect and Learning are the pillars that our business culture is built on. I am a firm believer in sourcing ingredients ethically and as locally as possible using the seasons as my guide. My family keeps me motivated and humble.

 Thank You and Bon Apetit!

Chef with farmer Kim.
