PRIVATE CHEF Services
Private Chef & Culinary Artist
​
From the markets of Provence to the tables of Los Angeles, I cook with heart, heritage, and creativity.
Each dish is a story, crafted with the finest ingredients, tailored to your taste, your health, your moment.
Because food is love, memory, and art on a plate.

Cooking around your life, not the other way around.
​
A private chef experience should feel personal.
I take the time to understand how you live, what you enjoy eating, what your family needs and what makes a meal feel special to you. From everyday family cooking to intimate dinners and celebrations, I create menus around your lifestyle rather than asking you to fit into mine.
​
My approach combines French culinary technique, international influences and a strong connection to seasonal ingredients. I can keep things simple and nourishing for everyday life, or create something more elevated when the occasion calls for it.
​
From menu creation and sourcing to preparation, cooking and leaving the kitchen beautifully cared for, I take care of the details so you can simply enjoy your table.
​
Every household is different. Every menu should be too.
Menu Customization

For me, cooking is not about repetition, It' is about listening. Every client has a different story, a rhythm of life, a way of nourishing body and soul. That’s why I never work from a fixed list of dishes. Instead, I design a menu that belongs only to you.
I draw inspiration from the lavender fields of my native Provence, the markets of Paris, the simplicity of Italian kitchens, and the vitality of California farms. Each menu is alive with the seasons, crafted with care, and balanced to bring both pleasure and well-being.
Your meals will reflect:
-
Your lifestyle and needs – plant-based, gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, low-sodium, or simply wholesome and light.
-
Your tastes and favorites, comfort food when you crave it, fresh energy when you need it.
-
The seasons – asparagus in spring, tomatoes at their sunniest, figs and stone fruits when summer is at its peak.
-
Variety without repetition because food should be a joy, not a routine.
Every menu is a celebration, a reminder that food is memory, balance, and love.
Grocery Shopping

The heart of my cooking lies in the quality of the ingredients. I take care of every step of sourcing, so you can trust that what arrives on your plate is the very best.
-
Local & Seasonal: I shop weekly at farmers’ markets and trusted organic suppliers in Los Angeles and Ojai, selecting vegetables, fruits, and herbs that are full of life and flavor.
-
From France to Your Table: For certain specialties, I bring the taste of my homeland directly into my cooking. I work with:
-
Les Farines Foricher and Bio Borsa flours (via La Fabrique du Boulanger) for bread and pastries
-
Isigny or Président butter for authentic viennoiseries
-
Valrhona chocolate and other fine products from Provence for desserts and confections
-
-
Tailored to You: From sustainable fish and grass-fed meats to gluten-free grains and dairy alternatives, every choice reflects your lifestyle and dietary needs.
By combining the freshest local produce with exceptional French products, I bring together two worlds I love: the abundance of California and the timeless flavors of Provence.
MealS Preparation

Eating well every day shouldn’t feel complicated. With my private chef meal prep services, you’ll have nourishing, seasonal meals ready to enjoy without the shopping, cooking, or stress.

How It Works
​
-
Menu Planning
Each week, I design a menu tailored to your preferences and dietary needs. I take into account allergies, restrictions, favorite flavors, and lifestyle habits. You’ll always receive variety, no repeated menus. -
Ingredient Sourcing

Cooking & Preparation
Meals can be prepared in your home kitchen, or delivered fresh to your door. Everything is packaged for convenience, with simple reheating instructions so you can enjoy restaurant-quality meals in minutes. -
Drop-Off Options
To keep meals as fresh as possible, I can schedule 2–3 deliveries per week. This way, you enjoy food that tastes just-cooked, never tired or frozen.

Private Events - catering

A private event is creating memories around the table. When I come into your home, I bring with me the flavors of Provence, the elegance of Paris, the simplicity of Italy, and the exotism of Asia and the abundance of California. Together, we transform your dining room, garden, or rooftop into a space of celebration.
​
What It Feels Like
Imagine your guests arriving, welcomed by the aroma of fresh herbs, seasonal vegetables roasting gently, or chocolate melting slowly for dessert. Each dish is prepared in front of you, plated with care, and served at its peak, an experience that feels both intimate and refined.
​
My Role
I design a menu especially for you, never repeated, always seasonal. I source the finest ingredients, prepare and cook everything on-site, and take care of every detail from the first appetizer to the final toast. You are free to be fully present with your guests, while I handle the flow of the evening.
​
Celebrations I Create

Corporate Events
Each event is a reflection of the people gathered, the stories shared, and the love behind the occasion. Food becomes the thread that ties it all together, layer by layer, like memory itself.
Cooking - BAKING Classes

I also offer personalized cooking and baking classes, perfect for anyone who wants to bring the art of the kitchen into their own hands. Whether you dream of mastering the layers of a perfect croissant, learning Asian recipes, or simply becoming more confident in your everyday cooking, I guide you step by step with patience and passion.
Classes can be private one-on-one sessions or small group experiences, held in your home or at a chosen location. Every lesson is tailored to your level and interests, mixing technique with storytelling, so you don’t just learn recipes. You create memories.
SERVICE AND Clean-Up

A private chef experience should feel effortless from start to finish. From the moment I arrive, I take care of everything: organizing the kitchen, preparing each dish with precision, and presenting it beautifully at the table.
Throughout the evening, service is seamless, plates appear as if by magic, glasses are kept full, and every detail is attended to with quiet care. If your event calls for it, I can also bring in professional staff to assist with table service, wine pairing, or passed appetizers, creating the atmosphere of a fine-dining restaurant in the comfort of your home.
And when the last course has been enjoyed, I leave your kitchen spotless and restored, so the only thing left behind is the memory of a perfect evening.
