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 more than a meal, It’s love, memory, and art on a plate.

As a French-born chef and pastry chef, I bring the flavors of Provence, the elegance of Paris, and the creativity of California to every table I serve. My work blends classic technique with artistic expression, always tailored to the people I cook for.

Over the past 15+ years, I’ve cooked for some of the world’s most discerning palates, including Ozzy Osbourne, Maggie Q, and Francis Dinah, as well as countless private households and events. My career began in my own restaurants in Paris, where I learned the art of hospitality at its most personal.

Today, I design bespoke dining experiences from intimate family meals to multi-course celebrationsthat reflect my clients’ unique tastes, health goals, and lifestyle.

I specialize in French, Italian, Mediterranean, Asian, and California cuisine, with an emphasis on seasonal, organic ingredients sourced from trusted farmers and artisans. Whether it’s a comforting breakfast, a vibrant market-fresh lunch, or an elegant fine-dining dinner, my menus are always crafted with flavor, balance, and beauty in mind.

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
I select only high-quality, organic, and local or imported ingredients from France. From farmers’ market vegetables to the best seasonal fruits, from sustainable fish to grass-fed meats, I prioritize freshness and flavor.
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.

A mix of international influences French, Italian, Mediterranean, Asian, and American comfort, always adapted to your taste.
Breakfasts Lunches, dinners, and snacks that bring pleasure as well as nourishment.
Meals portioned for individuals, couples, or families.

Private Events

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

Romantic dinners under candlelight
Family-style feasts filled with laughter
Multi-course elegant menus for anniversaries or holidays
Cocktail parties with creative, bite-sized flavors
Brunches and birthdays that carry the joy of the season
Baby shower
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.
