Restaurant-quality dining in your estate
I cook for summer houses and estates in Southampton, Water Mill, Bridgehampton, East Hampton, Amagansett, Sag Harbor and out to Montauk. Dinners on the lawn after the beach, weekend house parties and full seasons of weekly cooking.
The East End gives me Montauk striped bass and fluke, local oysters, Long Island duck and, in autumn, sweet Peconic Bay scallops. From the farm stands come summer corn, heirloom tomatoes and strawberries in June, which I cook simply, with smoke, sea salt and herbs. Long Island wines, especially rosé, Merlot and Cabernet Franc from the North Fork and the South Fork, sit well beside them.
I have spent a decade in Michelin-starred kitchens, as Sous Chef of R&D in the Noma group and Head Chef at Kokkeriet, and I bring that standard to every table I cook for. My story.
What I offer in the Hamptons
Weekly cooking
Once a week I cook at your home: ten to twelve portioned meals, labelled and ready to reheat, made with the same produce.
Restaurant at Home
A tasting menu of six to eight courses, cooked and plated in your kitchen, with wine or non-alcoholic pairings. For dinners of 6 to 12 guests.
Weddings and events
From an intimate dinner to 500 guests, with a hand-picked kitchen and service team and a drinks programme designed with the menu.
Also available: weddings and events up to 500 guests, family residencies and foraging experiences. See all experiences.
Private chef in the Hamptons: good to know
Can you cook for us every weekend through the summer?
Yes. I can cook Friday to Sunday or for full weeks, planning menus with you and shopping the farm stands and fish markets each time.
Do you cook on the North Fork and Shelter Island as well?
Yes. Travel and accommodation are added to the quote, and I plan menus and shopping before I arrive.
Can you cook a clambake or beach-style dinner as well as fine dining?
Yes. A relaxed shellfish and corn dinner on the lawn is as much part of what I do as a plated tasting menu.
Getting married in the Hamptons?
I cook weddings at private estates, shingled beach houses and tented lawns from Southampton to Montauk, from an intimate dinner to 500 guests. See wedding catering in the Hamptons.
