About
I worked as a private chef for Mr. and Mrs. Richard LeFrak in the Hamptons last summer. My previous 6-month contract was to be a vegan chef to an Oscar-winning actress at the set of her new show. Now I am back at another set, cooking daily meals for her from a vegan food truck.
I cooked for families throughout college, bartended in NYC, and started writing a food blog. I run my own business catering private events on weekends. I also hold a WSET Level 3 Wine certification and offer wine & food pairing dinner option.
I am getting certified as a nutrition coach. I specialize in healthy, nutrient-dense cooking and can accommodate any dietary restrictions. My favorite cuisine is Mid-Eastern. I hold a NYS Food Handler’s License and SafeServ certification. I am also a TIPS-certified bartender.

Dream evening celebrating my wife's 50th (in pandemic conditions) at home. Radka weaved her amazing magic into an outside dinner for 8 adults. A French-themed menu we created together, seamless preparation and delivery, calm & quiet professionalism and spotless kitchen afterwards. Can't wait to have another reason to book her again! Thank you, Radka.

Thank you, Andrew! I know you were supposed to celebrate Natalie’s birthday in France so I attempted to bring a piece of France to your table. :) It was such a delight to cook in your cozy kitchen. You had everything set up for me, including a fireplace!
I am happy that you enjoyed the evening and I’m looking forward to cooking for you in the future!

Radka is an Absolute professional! Lovely to work with, and full of talent! I hosted a French-themed brunch for my sister’s 25th birthday. Radka was communicative and on time. She created tasty crepes and a fun and interactive experience for our friends.

What a fun event to work! Thank you for hiring me for your sister’s party. I enjoyed manning the crepe station and interacting with your guests. It was a pleasure to be a part of your Paris-themed party and meet your lovely family and friends!

Chef Radka exceeded all expectations at our wellness retreat, providing a stunning pescatarian dinner that was both creative and delicious. Her attention to detail and flexibility in planning made the entire process seamless; she was communicative, punctual, and incredibly open to feedback throughout. The menu was thoughtfully crafted, starting with a flavorful amuse-bouche of local squash and apple chutney, followed by a beautiful Mediterranean cheese platter. The miso-crusted cod was a standout entrée. Radka also contributed to cleanup, which was greatly appreciated. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to others looking for an exceptional dining experience.
