Personal chef services for unforgettable dining experiences.

My love for cooking grew from real life — balancing work, family, and the daily challenge of getting good meals on the table. As a husband, father, and full-time worker, I understand how overwhelming mealtime can feel.
I’m completely self-taught, learning through years of cooking for my own family and constantly challenging myself to recreate and improve meals we enjoyed when dining out — something that has become less frequent with rising costs and life with a new baby.
What started as caring for my own family grew into a passion for helping other families enjoy flavorful, homemade meals without the stress of daily planning and cooking. For me, great food has always been about taking care of the people I love — and that heart goes into every meal I prepare.

My cooking focuses on comforting, homemade meals tailored to each family’s tastes and routines. While I’m inspired by Florida’s diverse food culture — blending Southern comfort, Caribbean, Latin, and fresh citrus flavors — my approach is always flexible and built around what works best for each household.
From homemade pizza to pasta dishes, stir fry, classic chicken dinners, and kid-friendly favorites, my goal is to create meals that feel welcoming and stress-free for everyday family life.
I also accommodate a variety of dietary preferences and wellness goals, including lighter cooking styles, balanced meals, and ingredient-conscious preparation.
Every family eats differently, and I believe great cooking starts by listening first and building meals around the people I’m serving.
Simple, comforting meals designed to make family dinners easier and enjoyable for all ages. These dishes focus on familiar flavors, kid-friendly favorites, and homemade comfort that brings everyone to the table.
These meals are examples to help inspire menu planning and showcase the variety of foods I can prepare. Every family’s menu is fully customizable, with options for both kids and adults. Because I cook in each client’s home, meals may be adjusted based on available kitchen equipment, ensuring everything is prepared safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality.
Midwest Diner–Style Chopped Steak with Onions. Tender-sliced butcher-cut beef and sweet onions in a buttery sour-cream sauce, tossed with egg noodles for a comforting Midwest diner–style classic rooted in home kitchens and old-school American practicality.
Tender strips of marinated chicken breast, seasoned with a smoky, spiced dry rub and finished with a bold fajita glaze. Griddled to perfection with caramelized onions and vibrant bell peppers, then served hot off the skillet with melty cheese, salsa, avocado, and sour cream. Wrapped in your choice of warm corn or flour tortillas—every bite is bold, juicy, and irresistibly Tex-Mex.
Greek dish featuring seasoned, spit-roasted meat (usually lamb, beef, or chicken) served in pita bread with toppings like tomatoes, onions, sauce, and sometimes fries.
Classic comfort pasta served with my house tomato sauce, built through layers of garlic, herbs, and savory richness, finished with tender homemade meatballs for a deeply satisfying, family-style meal.
Bold, juicy, and made with care—this collection brings together mouthwatering burgers and a thoughtfully curated selection of hearty sandwiches inspired by classic café comfort and built for big flavor.
Smoked turkey breast piled high on top of melty Swiss cheese and crisp lettuce on a toasted artisan ciabatta roll. Finished with my signature cranberry-Dijon mayo—tangy, sweet, and made in-house with real dried cranberries and a touch of honey.
Thin-sliced roast beef piled high and layered with sharp melted cheddar, crisp iceberg lettuce, fresh tomato, and thin-sliced red onion. Dressed with house-made garlic mayo, bold stone-ground mustard, and a touch of horseradish for that signature tangy kick. Served warm on a toasted French baguette with a perfect chew.
Tender, chopped turkey or chicken breast tossed in a creamy blend of mayo and Dijon with a splash of tangy vinegar. Sweet onions and pickle relish add a subtle bite, while a hint of garlic and cayenne bring just the right depth. Perfect on a sandwich with crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, and your favorite cheese—or enjoy it straight from the bowl.
Burgers made by pressing seasoned beef patties onto a hot griddle, creating a crispy, caramelized exterior while keeping the inside juicy. They’re typically served with classic toppings like cheese, lettuce, and pickles.
A juicy grilled patty nestled in a toasted brioche bun, topped with melty Swiss cheese, layered with sautéed mushrooms, sweet onions, crisp lettuce, tomato, and a rich, smoky bourbon-mayo sauce—bold, savory, and irresistibly satisfying.
Bold, South Florida–inspired dishes built around citrus, garlic, herbs, and heat—where Caribbean, Cuban, Everglades flavors and home-style cooking collide in comfort-forward favorites you won’t find anywhere else.
Silky, sun-kissed cream sauce wrapped around tender chicken and pasta, layered with bright coastal flavors and a warm garlic finish.
Inspired by the Chino-Cubano kitchens of Havana, Miami, and New York, this fried rice blends Everglades roasted chicken, eggs, and scallions with garlicky Cuban white rice. Finished with a fragrant Key lime flourish, it’s a Florida-born twist on a beloved classic.
Garlicky, citrusy wings seared hard and finished juicy — straight from the edge of the Everglades. Citrus-bright, garlic-loaded, fire-seared food served without pretense, but full of soul.
Built from Latin-Caribbean flavors, citrus grove ingredients, and roadside grit.
Tender boneless pork butt marinated overnight in garlic, sour orange, and oregano, then slow-roasted until succulent with a bright citrus tang and subtle garlic warmth.
Classic Cuban Sandwich
Crisp-pressed Cuban bread layered with thin-sliced mojo pork, cooked ham, melted Swiss, tangy pickles, and yellow mustard – golden, crunchy, and bursting with authentic Havana flavors.
Two bold takes on the Cuban-American classic born on the streets of Little Havana.
• Original Frita: Seared chuck patty layered with crispy potato sticks, raw white onion, and our spicy frita ketchup on a toasted brioche bun.
• Smash Frita: Double smashed patties with melty cheese, golden crust, and that same signature frita topping stack—loud, crispy, and unapologetically Miami.
Tender garlic mojo chicken baked over savory seasoned rice with sweet peppers and bright Florida citrus — a comforting Cuban-inspired family casserole.

Pantry & Kitchen Staples Fee
A small fee $5-$8 is applied to cover shared ingredients such as oils, spices, seasonings, and other pantry staples used during preparation so clients don’t need to purchase full containers for single meals.
