Restaurant-quality dining in your residence
I cook for grey-shingled summer houses in Nantucket Town, ’Sconset, Madaket, Cisco, Polpis and around Brant Point. Lobster and corn on the porch, long tasting dinners for friends and weekly cooking for the whole family’s summer.
Nantucket gives me striped bass and bluefish from the surf, local oysters and lobster, and in late autumn the island’s famous bay scallops. The moors and dunes offer beach plums and rose hips, and the island grows cranberries in its old bogs. I cook it all simply, over coals, with sea salt and the herbs and vegetables from the island farms.
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.

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.
Foraging and cooking
A guided walk to gather wild plants and mushrooms, followed by a hands-on lunch with what we found.
Also available: weddings and events up to 500 guests, family residencies and foraging experiences. See all experiences.
Private chef in Nantucket: good to know
How do you get ingredients to the island?
I buy fish and produce on the island where I can and bring anything else over on the ferry, planned before I arrive.
Can you cook for us for the whole summer?
Yes. I can cook for a week, several weeks or the season, with menus that change as the island’s produce comes in.
Can you forage beach plums and rose hips for our dinners?
In late summer and autumn, yes, from places where foraging is allowed, and I turn them into sauces, jellies and desserts.
Getting married in Nantucket?
I cook weddings at private summer houses, harbourside lawns and tented gardens across the island, from an intimate dinner to 500 guests. See wedding catering in Nantucket.
