I want to plan your event with you

With over 30 years in the culinary arts, I’m classically trained with a strong foundation in Italian and French technique, and I’ve spent the last two decades deepening my understanding of regional flavors—drawing inspiration from Latin American, Indian, and Asian cuisines alongside my Eastern European heritage. I believe craftsmanship and genuine human connection are at the heart of great hospitality. From teaching myself the art of cured meats and salumi to embracing the lessons that come from experimentation, I bring steady leadership and operational expertise from 14 years as an Executive Chef in Seattle—now serving clients from Austin, Texas with exceptional service and care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

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 162 USD, 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 Local, Seafood/Fish, Latin American, Italian and Chef's special. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor 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.
