Restaurant-quality dining in your residence
I cook in private homes in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Holmby Hills, Brentwood, the Hollywood Hills and Santa Monica, and in beach houses along the coast in Malibu. Dinner parties at home, weekly cooking for busy families and long tasting menus as the sun sets over the Pacific.
Southern California gives me Santa Barbara sea urchin and spot prawns, California halibut, avocados, Meyer lemons and a year-round run of citrus, stone fruit and greens from the farmers markets. I cook them lightly, often over wood, with wild fennel and black sage from the hills. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Santa Rita Hills and Santa Barbara County pair well with 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.

Private chef in Los Angeles and Malibu: good to know
Can you cook regularly for our family through the week?
Yes. I can cook several days a week, plan around school and work, and leave meals ready when I am not there.
Can you follow a specific diet, such as plant-based or gluten-free?
Yes. I plan the whole menu around it from the start, so the food never feels like a compromise.
Do you cook up the coast past Malibu too?
Yes. Travel and accommodation are added to the quote, and I plan menus and shopping before I arrive.
Getting married in Los Angeles and Malibu?
I cook weddings at Malibu bluffs and beach houses, canyon estates and private gardens in the hills, from an intimate dinner to 500 guests. See wedding catering in Los Angeles and Malibu.
