I bring refined Mediterranean cooking with a farm-to-table soul to your home.

I have over 31 years of experience in demanding, high-end restaurants and private chef environments, growing from a line cook into senior executive chef roles across Tel Aviv, London, New York City, New Orleans, California, and Switzerland.

My formal training is rooted in classical French cuisine, and I specialize in Mediterranean cooking with a strong focus on fish and seafood. I believe the ingredients should speak for themselves, so I work with the freshest organic products and approach every dish with care, respect, and a commitment to simple, elegant results—always with creativity and strong presentation.

For me, cooking is connecting people with food, wine, and the environment.

I cook Chef's special and Local. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
