Chef John

I’m a personal chef, baker, and culinary creative with more than 10 years of professional experience. My foundation includes extensive training in French cuisine, and I also pull inspiration from Asian, Italian, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, American, and soul food traditions—shaped by travel, culture, and unforgettable flavors. I offer personalized meal prep with 80+ recipes to choose from, plus catering for private gatherings, special events, and brand collaborations (including Nike). I’ve cooked for private clients while traveling, and I create custom cakes and desserts that consistently earn wonderful reviews—one of my cakes was even featured in a magazine. My goal is to make every experience thoughtful, flavorful, and truly personal.

Let’s plan something special

Chef John
My secret ingredient is always love.

Here’s what you can expect when you work with me.

Cooking is my passion and my lifestyle

For me, cooking is a passion and a lifestyle, and I bring that energy into every menu—whether I’m plating an intimate dinner, prepping a week of meals, or finishing a custom dessert with care.

I learned from family, training, and real-world experience

I’ve learned to cook from a little bit of everywhere: my mom and grandma, my dad, Food Network, schooling, and hands-on experience. That mix helps me stay versatile, reliable, and creative across cuisines and occasions.

Love is my guiding philosophy

I believe the secret ingredient is always love, and I build every experience around hospitality—so you feel cared for from the first message to the last bite.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

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 135.67 USD, 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 Chef's special, Seafood/Fish and Local. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor 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 United States?

To book me in United States, 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 Birthday. 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.
