Introduction
Hi! I'm a well-seasoned Chef with over 15 years experience in NYC, 10 years at the Executive level, including Michelin and NY Times rated restaurants. I love cooking with the seasons and I source my ingredients from local farms, when possible. The majority of my experience is in Italian and French cuisines, but I am fluent in global flavors and techniques. I'm available for private events, hospitality consulting, meal prep, and cooking classes.

I feel lucky to have Chef John as a private chef in Westchester. He is a top Michelin-star-trained chef who’s also humble and hardworking. His food is better than most restaurants around here. It’s delicate, and the texture hits all the right taste palettes. We regularly hired him for family meal prep, and every day was a joy to have his food at every meal. One of the favorite dishes for us were Peruvian Pollo ala brasa with green chili sauce, Grilled vegis with herbs, ceviche, roasted chicken breast, to name a few. He was excellent at customizing dishes to meet our dietary restrictions without compromising on flavor or quality.
