History
Established in 2017.
After nearly 40 years in the restaurant business, I decided to shift gears and work exclusively as a personal private chef.
There is so much reward for me as a chef, to create a personalized meal for a family or small group and to be right there while they experience the delights and the joy of great food.
I take tremendous pride in my work, and I go to great lengths to make sure the food and the entire experience is a magical delight for all my clients.
I hope to create the magic just for you!
Meet the Business Owner: Wayne S.
Born and raised in the Hudson Valley region of New York, I attended the Culinary Institute of America (Hyde Park, NY) and then became a head chef for a family-owned Italian restaurant in the Catskills. Eventually, I was made Executive Chef for 3 of their restaurants and worked for 20 years. I opened my own place in New York for a few years, and then chose to relocate to California. Until about a year ago, I worked as an Executive Chef for a couple of the best restaurants in the Coachella Valley.
I am trained in classic Italian cooking & use that training to create fusion dishes, incorporating Asian, Spanish, French, old school American and other influences into my food. I also specialize in nutritional cuisine, creating meals that are sensitive to dietary needs (vegan, gluten-free, etc...)
Creating menus, inventing new & exciting dishes and utilizing my knowledge of cooking make me a versatile chef who can make a memorable evening for any event.
I have 2 dogs, 3 cats & 1 wife.
