"If you are lucky enough to have Jim cook for your event, you will be in heaven! Not only is his food absolutely fabulous but he is a dream to work with.”
Alex, Manhattan
"My husband has always wanted to learn to cook. Jim came into our home weekly and curated a fun and comprehensive curriculum. Jim’s recipes live on in our household and have inspired countless more delicious meals. It was a treat to get to work with and learn from Jim."
Jacquie, Manhattan
"Jim is an incredible chef and an absolute joy to work with. When party day arrived and it was pouring rain, Jim was positive and flexible, even grilling under an umbrella for hours so we could still have our summer BBQ!! I couldn’t recommend Jim more and am already dreaming of the next one!"

A bit of me
A bit of me
After graduating from college I sat at a desk for three years. But in every free moment, I was in the kitchen. After a long stint of passionate home cooking, I left my desk job in 2022 to pursue a career in restaurants. Since then, I’ve had the good fortune to work in some incredible kitchens, including Misi, Misipasta, and The Foul Witch.
My time in restaurants gave me a foundation in technique, efficiency, and creativity—all of which have been invaluable in building my own business. I began private chef work as a side project in 2023, and as of June 2025, I’ve committed to freelance projects full-time. My goal for every gig is to create a menu of food that feels personal, comforting, interesting, and flavorful.
I’m excited to keep learning and working with food in new, energizing ways. Whatever you’re working on, I’m here to help make it happen.
