About
I’m a trained chef and a licensed nutritionist. I build a weekly menu around your household needs: what you’re trying to eat, what you actually want to eat, and anything you can’t have. A Cetara chef cooks it in your kitchen, or it’s delivered, ready for the week.
Every menu is completely custom for the household it belongs to. Nothing comes off a set rotation. When your goals change, the menu changes.

Chef Shayna amazed my guests and I for a big dinner party I had. It was the first time I was hosting in my new house and Chef Shayna made everything so easy. The meal became a true centerpiece of the event. Chef Shayna's original takes on dishes we loved made everything feel comfortable and new at the same time. Special shout out to her for being so accommodating to our guests with dietary restrictions. 5/5 stars for the food, 5/5 stars for her professionalism and accommodation, 5/5 stars on the whole vibe she brought. Thanks again for making our special night even more special!

Asked the chef if she could prepare a meal for a special occasion for my family. She was able to select fresh ingredients and prepare them in a creative way that included the flavors I wanted for the meal as well as some new ideas that made it really special. We will absolutely use her again!

Shayna made us a very special and delicious meal for my husband’s birthday. He loves French food, so she did a French themed 5 course meal. It was incredible!

I am on a recent health/fitness transformation and was referred to Chef Shayna through a friend. Shayna met with me to talk through my goals, my tastes, and my needs. She has come once a week and prepped 3 meals for the week. Her food is delicious, while also being nutritionally packed and worked within the confines of my regimen. I highly recommend using Chef Shayna as the value and quality of her work is excellent!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Cetara is a weekly membership, starting from $350/week. That starts at 3 meals and 1 snack, each meal up to 4 servings.
It covers a consult, a menu written for your household, a chef cooking in your kitchen or delivery, and changes whenever your goals change.
Groceries are billed at cost, itemized, with no markup.
Larger households and extra meals are sized on the consult.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A consult first. What your health goals are, what your week looks like, and anything you can’t have. Allergies and restrictions get written down exactly.
From there I write your household’s spec: portions, proteins, how you like things cooked.
A Cetara chef cooks it in your kitchen, one household per session, or it’s delivered.
Menus go out for your approval every week.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’m a licensed nutritionist and a trained chef. I’ve cooked privately for Manhattan households for the last four years. Trained at Institute of Culinary Education in the culinary arts program and then worked at Gramercy Tavern
