Your chef

A restaurant chef, cooking at your table

With roots in Europe, I've cooked professionally in Santa Barbara since 1991, first in restaurant kitchens and as a private chef since 2013.

In Ojai I cook in family homes, vacation rentals, retreat houses and ranches across the valley. I bring the cookware and a full table setting, serve every course, and leave the kitchen clean.

Always cooked by me, never a substitute chef.

Kind words
It felt like a Michelin-starred kitchen and dining room was transported to your home.

“The tablescape he created in our outdoor dining space was beautiful… He cleaned up everything at the end of the evening; even our kitchen was spotless.”
