I bring restaurant-level cooking to your home with seasonal, thoughtful menus.

I’m a Calgary-based chef with experience in professional kitchens, including Earls Kitchen + Bar, where I built a strong foundation working with Mediterranean, Asian, and Italian-inspired cuisine in a fast-paced environment. That background shaped my focus on balanced flavors, quality ingredients, and consistent execution.

Today, I bring that restaurant-level experience into private homes, creating seasonal menus that feel both refined and relaxed. I fully customize each dining experience to suit the occasion and accommodate dietary preferences, so everyone at the table can enjoy a meal that’s memorable and effortlessly enjoyable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Canada?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 202 CAD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Chef's special, Local, Mediterranean, Italian, Japanese, Fusion and French. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavour is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in Canada?

To book me in Canada, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Friends gathering and Romantic night. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
