Introduction

I provide uniquely tailored services to all of my clients. Whether a client needs a meal for two, meal prep, or banquet catering (weddings, corporate events, parties), I plan menus, source food, and present foods using my training from Four Seasons Hotels and my culinary background. I'm a minimalist who loves building flavors. I create unique dishes that use minimal ingredients in minimal space. I ensure that my meals are healthy, flavorful, and beautifully plated without compromising freshness and quality. My goal is simple: to make great food for everyone to enjoy. I love layering flavors and discovering new ingredients that make food taste great!

Incredible Fine Dining Experience with a Personal Touch! Hiring Chef Dorian for our special occasion was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment he arrived, his professionalism and expertise were evident. The entire dining experience felt like being at a high-end luxury restaurant, but in the comfort of our own home. The quality of his culinary skills is truly remarkable—every dish was impeccably prepared and beautifully presented. From the hors d'oeuvres to the dessert, each course exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail in every aspect of the meal, from explaining the ingredients to the perfect execution of flavors, was simply outstanding. The main courses, including filet mignon, crab cake, and seared salmon, were cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with the side dishes. And the desserts—especially the chocolate dome cake with a dark chocolate center—were the perfect finale to a phenomenal meal. Beyond the food, Chef Dorian's personable and cheerful demeanor added to the experience, making it feel intimate and special. His professionalism and experience as a top-quality chef were apparent throughout the entire evening, and we were truly able to relax and enjoy the meal. It was worth every penny and then some. We highly recommend him for any event or special occasion—you won’t be disappointed!

He was great, prepared a great meal of my choosing and cleaned up after, it was like he was never there! The best option vs going out but wanting a top of the line meal at home!
