Private chef in Palm Beach

Restaurant-quality dining in your estate

I cook for oceanfront and lakeside estates on Palm Beach island and in Manalapan, Jupiter, Wellington and West Palm Beach. Elegant dinner parties in the winter season, family residencies and quiet, healthy cooking day to day.

Palm Beach gives me Florida pompano, grouper, snapper and stone crab claws in the cooler months, Indian River grapefruit and oranges, and key limes and mangoes from further south. I keep the cooking clean and bright, with fish grilled over coals, raw citrus dressings and herbs, so it suits warm evenings and long seasons in residence.

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.
