Private Dining

For special occasions, I offer in-home private dining experiences for up to 12 guests; designed to feel relaxed, thoughtful, and beautifully executed.

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or simply gathering with friends and family, I create a personalized menu using a curated, seasonal approach that reflects your preferences and the style of your event.

I travel to your home and prepare everything on-site, so each dish is fresh and served at its best. From planning to presentation, I take care of the details so you can be fully present with your guests and enjoy the evening.

Menus are developed based on your selected dining style (plated, family-style, or casual) and are refined to accommodate dietary needs or preferences where required.

With my weekly meal prep service, you’ll enjoy fresh, delicious, and customized meals without the hassle of daily cooking. Each week, I’ll prepare a variety of meal options tailored to your tastes and dietary preferences, all made right in the comfort of your home.

I bring all the necessary equipment - pots, pans, knives, and more, so you don’t need to worry about anything. Every meal is thoughtfully crafted using high-quality ingredients to ensure you have nutritious and flavorful dishes ready to enjoy throughout the week.

By choosing this service, you’ll have more time to relax and unwind, knowing that a chef-crafted, home-cooked meal is waiting for you at the end of your day.

  • Instead of worrying about the food, I got to relax and actually enjoy my party, knowing everything was in her capable hands. Having a private chef was such a lovely treat, and all my guests raved about the experience. I can’t recommend her enough!

  • We had the absolute pleasure of experiencing Chef Emily’s culinary masterpieces when she catered a dinner party I attended late last year. In addition to the delicious dining experience, Chef Emily is the pinnacle of professionalism and a sweet personality. You can tell that she loves what she does and pours it into each dish that she creates. What a wonderful evening!!
