A private chef your guests will thank you for.
For concierges, vacation-rental managers, home-watch companies and travel advisors across Naples, Marco Island and Southwest Florida.
Easy to recommend. Easy to work with.
Your guests and homeowners ask where to eat, who can cook for a celebration, or how to make the last night of a trip special. I’m the answer that happens inside the home you manage or recommend.
I arrive with all of my own equipment and handle the shopping, cooking, service and cleanup, so the property is left the way I found it. Every menu is custom-built around the guests, the occasion and any dietary needs, and most of my business comes by referral and word of mouth.
Referral fee: partners who refer a booked client receive a 10% referral fee. It’s my thank-you for the introduction.
I’m a Johnson & Wales graduate and a full-time college culinary instructor, based in Naples.
Built for hospitality pros.
- Concierges: a reliable in-home dining option to offer residents and guests.
- Vacation-rental managers: in-villa dinners and cooking classes that make a stay memorable, with the kitchen left clean.
- Home-watch companies: a trusted chef for homeowners arriving for the season, from a welcome-home dinner to weekly meal delivery.
- Travel advisors: a private chef experience to add to Naples and Marco Island itineraries.
