Elevate Your Dining Experience with a Private Chef

When you invest in a vacation home or estate in Rancho Santa Fe, La Jolla, Del Mar, and beyond, you want every detail of your stay to feel effortless, luxurious, and unforgettable. That’s where I come in. As a personal chef specializing in wellness-driven in-home dining, weekly meal prep, cooking classes, and intimate dinner parties, I help families and guests turn their Southern California stays into culinary experiences worth remembering.

Why Hire a Private Chef?

From Rancho Santa Fe to La Jolla, San Diego County is home to some of the most exclusive estates (and vacation rentals) in the country. For residents and guests, dining should match the beauty of the surroundings. Whether you’re:

Hosting a private dinner party for close friends or business associates
Enjoying a family vacation with kids and grandkids
Looking for stress-free weekly meal prep during your stay
Or craving a hands-on cooking class with restaurant-quality guidance in your own kitchen

…a private chef brings both convenience and luxury straight to your table.

What Sets My Services Apart

With over 15 years of experience cooking for families and hosting simple yet luxurious events, I specialize in creating menus that reflect the seasons, highlight Southern California’s best local ingredients, and adapt seamlessly to any dietary preference—gluten-free, vegan, wellness-focused, and beyond.

Clients trust me because I offer:

Discretion & Professionalism – I understand the importance of privacy in your home.
Custom Experiences – Every menu is personalized to your family’s tastes.
Versatility – From intimate chef’s table dinners to large-scale family gatherings, I design experiences that fit your lifestyle.
Wellness-Driven Options – Perfect for clients seeking healthy, fresh, and elevated meals.

Services Offered throughout San Diego County & Beyond

Weekly Meal Prep – Fresh, fully prepared meals (in your home) stocked in your fridge for the week.
Private Dinners & Events – Intimate multi-course meals served in your home or vacation property.
Cooking Classes – Hands-on or demonstration-style classes for couples, families, or groups.
Luxury Vacation Dining – Complete in-home dining support during your stay (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between).

Who I Serve

I specialize in helping San Diego families enjoy easy, flavorful meals prepared in their own kitchens, so they can eat well without the stress of cooking. As well as clients enjoying vacation homes, either owned or rented, across San Diego and its coastal neighborhoods. Many come to me when entertaining out-of-town guests, celebrating milestones, or simply wanting to relax with family and friends without worrying about cooking.

I also work closely with estate managers, property managers, and concierge services to ensure every detail of your dining experience is flawless.
