I create story-driven menus that feel elevated, heartfelt, and deeply connected to place.

For me, cooking has always been about more than food—it’s about connection, creativity, and the joy of bringing people together. I grew up in Nova Scotia, and my love for the kitchen started early alongside my grandmother while she was in culinary school, which sparked the curiosity that still drives my work today.

I earned my Red Seal at the Culinary Institute of Canada and sharpened my craft in demanding kitchens and private-chef settings, from Prince Edward Island seafood-focused restaurants to resort fine dining and international clientele in Turks and Caicos. My style blends modern fine-dining technique with bold flavors—often Caribbean-leaning—and a strong respect for local ingredients, all while staying a lifelong student of the craft.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Canada?

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 CAD, 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, Mediterranean and Fusion. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavour 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.

How can you book my private chef services in Canada?

To book me in Canada, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering and Romantic night. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
