About
Classically trained at the French Culinary Institute in New York and Alma in Parma, Italy, I externed under Anthony Bourdain at Les Halles and served as Chef de Cuisine under Sirio Maccioni at Le Cirque. For 15+ years I’ve run private kitchens for ultra-high-net-worth families across New York, Beverly Hills, and the Bay Area — including clients like LeBron James and Sofía Vergara — bringing restaurant-level precision, discretion, and consistency to everyday meals and high-stakes events alike. I’m also maritime-certified (STCW, ENG1) for yacht and lake-house service, so wherever your household lives, I bring the same standard.

“We brought Mary in to build out the culinary program for our corporate campus in Menlo Park and she delivered something I didn’t expect — a system that actually scales. She mapped our team’s schedules, eating patterns, and dietary needs, and designed a kitchen operation around all of it. Turnover in our kitchen staff dropped significantly after her training protocols went in. The food is excellent but the infrastructure is what really changed things.”
— Priya Nambiar, Head of People Operations, Series C Tech Company
