Chef Sarah

Personal Chef • Weekly Meal Prep • Private Dinner Parties • Charcuterie Cooking has always been my way of caring for people. Whether I’m stocking a family’s fridge for the week, cooking an intimate dinner party, or building a beautiful grazing table for a celebration, my goal is the same: make your life easier while serving food that people genuinely look forward to eating. I have more than 10 years of experience cooking professionally in private homes and for events. In addition to working as a personal chef, I own a local food business specializing in seasonal meal prep and upscale charcuterie. I’m just as comfortable preparing a week’s worth of family dinners as I am creating a multi-course dinner party or a stunning grazing display for your guests. My Services • Weekly or bi-weekly in-home meal prep • Customized menus based on your tastes, dietary needs, and goals • Grocery shopping and ingredient sourcing • Family dinners, breakfasts, lunches, and snacks • Private dinner parties and special occasions • Charcuterie boards and grazing tables • Holiday and event food • Kitchen organization, food storage, labeling, and cleanup Whether you want fully prepared meals, ingredients prepped for easy cooking throughout the week, or someone to take care of everything from shopping to cleanup, I’ll tailor the experience to fit your household. My Cooking Style I love food that’s fresh, seasonal, comforting, and full of flavor. My menus are inspired by farmers markets, cozy comfort food, and global flavors, with plenty of vegetables and homemade touches. I cook everything from hearty family favorites to elegant dinner party menus, and I’m happy to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, or other dietary preferences. No matter the menu, I want the food to feel approachable, satisfying, and made with care. Perfect For • Busy families • Professionals with packed schedules • New parents • People who enjoy entertaining but don’t want to spend the whole night in the kitchen • Date nights, birthdays, anniversaries, and small celebrations • Anyone who wants delicious, homemade food without the planning, shopping, cooking, or cleanup What You Can Expect When I work in your home, I treat your kitchen with the same care I would my own. I’m organized, dependable, respectful of your space, and easy to communicate with. I believe hiring a personal chef should make your life feel lighter—not more complicated.
