The Chef

The Story

I’m Andrea, and I’ve been cooking for a living for almost thirty years. I have three degrees from the Culinary Institute of America, which is a lot of school for someone who simply wants to feed you well.” For more than a decade I was the full-time private chef for one family, which means I know how to read a room, remember fine details about my client's palates, and deliver their vision consistently. An evening with me is relaxed. I cook food that makes you feel good, you’ll eat well, and your kitchen will be left in order.
