I bring restaurant-level tasting menus to your table, with precision and creativity.

I’m a Culinary Management graduate from Algonquin College, and my career has taken me from Executive Chef roles in Italian kitchens to vegan fine dining, and into contemporary restaurants where I competed at Ottawa’s Gold Medal Plates—earning Silver, Bronze, and more Silver along the way. Those experiences shaped my standards: organized service, clean flavors, and plates that feel intentional.

After moving to Toronto, I honed whole-animal butchery and local, farmer-driven cooking at a true nose-to-tail restaurant. In 2021, I launched CHESHIRE CAT to focus on private fine-dining multi-course tasting menus, catering, weddings, and events. I’m based in Ontario and I travel wherever you’re willing to have me.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with range—and bold Asian inspiration

I bring a mixed bag of tricks to every menu. I have a strong love for Southeast Asian flavors and Chinese, Korean, and Japanese-inspired dishes, while staying well versed across multiple cuisines so your menu feels personal and balanced.

I learned early, and I’ve cooked professionally at a high level

I learned to cook from a young age because my grandparents owned a restaurant and a food truck. I was in a kitchen when most kids were playing outside, and that early foundation grew into a career built on disciplined training, competition experience, and leadership in demanding restaurant environments.

I obsess over the details that make a meal unforgettable

My approach is simple: finesse, precision, and confidence. I focus on the small decisions—timing, texture, seasoning, and presentation—so the entire experience feels seamless from the first bite to the last course.

What are my rates for private chef services in Canada?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 212.50 CAD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Italian, Japanese, Mediterranean, Chef's special, Local, Fusion, French and Seafood/Fish. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavour is.
