About
*I AM CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING WEEKLY MEAL PREP CLIENTS.*
Thanks for considering my services! I offer personal chef and private event services as well as fun cooking classes in the Bay Area. I love cooking and entertaining and have spent the better part of my career doing one or the other.
My culinary philosophy revolves around creating memorable food experiences through a thoughtful blend of flavors and a commitment to quality. I value the importance of listening to the preferences and desires of my clients and building each experience to meet my clients' expectations. I love people and love making them tasty food! I use fresh, rich ingredients that are in season and can accommodate all sorts of allergies and dietary restrictions. I am also a sommelier and am happy to include wine pairings and cocktails with your menu.
If you're seeking a chef who brings a sense of professionalism, creativity, great food, and fun, I would be honored to create something special for you!

Roxy made a beautiful dinner for our family during our visit to wine country. She was wonderful to work with from start to finish.
We discussed the menu ahead of time, she was responsive and easy to communicate with, and the meal was absolutely delicious.
Best of all, we were able to relax and enjoy a special evening together, and when she left, the kitchen and home were spotless. We would absolutely hire Roxy again and highly recommend her!

Great dinner for us and our 9 visiting friends. The chef worked out the menu with us and the food was really good. Dinner was a bit cold, but I can understand with that large a group and not enough space to heat plates and keep them warm. That would be my only negative. I would definitely hire her again!

Roxy and Nicholas were wonderful! They made us a 4 course meal for a group of 9 for my birthday. She proposed a few different options for courses and was totally open to some substitutions. Everything was delicious and came out around the times we had discussed. Our kitchen looked spotless after. Cannot recommend enough!

We had the best time having Roxy lead a cooking class for my coworkers. She came on time, prepared, gave a great class and all the food was amazing. We left having the best team building activity and full belly! Thank you so much Roxy!

Roxy was a delight to work with! She was flexible, and super game to help me create a really special birthday surprise for my boyfriend. Her food was excellent and she herself is charming and warm. Can’t wait for an excuse to hire her again!
