Greeting! My name is Joe and I am passionate about cooking for you. I accomplished my degree from the Culinary Institute of America situated in Hyde Park, NY, and have ample experience in the field of cookery, including operating as a trained chocolatier and restaurant chef, totalling to around 25 years. Working in Tuscany for an extended period of three years also added to my expertise. I firmly believe in offering rich and unique cuisine for both the body and soul, substantially focusing on the use of fresh seasonal ingredients and implementing innovative techniques.
I relish the excitement of encountering new customers and providing impeccable food and services. Please feel free to communicate with me regarding your specific needs for a private chef.
***********In case you run into difficulty while trying to contact me via CrackerJack, or I decline your request on CrackerJack, please email me at my name at gmail. This is primarily relevant to more substantial wedding type jobs since, based on CrackerJack's setup, I usually need to pay a minimum of $50 just to initiate a discussion with clients who are still assessing options and have yet to make up their minds (which is completely reasonable!)**********
Thank you and bon appétit!
Joe

Joe's professionalism, politeness, and exceptional culinary skills left us in awe. His respect for our home was evident in his courteousness and willingness to wash all the dishes. It was hard to believe that such a delectable meal had been prepared in our kitchen when he left without a trace. Joe's services are invaluable and we would hire him again and again. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

For a recent gathering of 70 people, Joe took charge of all the food preparation. From selecting the menu to delivery and setup, the entire process was handled smoothly and without any stress. The food items that Joe delivered were exceptional and received great acclaim. I strongly recommend him for his outstanding service and excellent quality of food.

Joe's relatability shone through as he took the time to explain his food preparation methods upon request. He collaborated with us to devise a menu that fit our financial plan. I would certainly enlist him for future events. Much appreciated, Joe!

Chef Joe already wowed us with one meal. We requested a simple sandwich and salad bar, but he went above and beyond with Italian subs featuring a delectable ricotta-based spread, roast beef and arugula sandwiches on poppyseed buns, and a scrumptious barley and brown rice salad with pecans. As a grand finale, Joe surprised us with strawberry white chocolate chip cookies. Everyone was impressed, and we can't wait to see what Joe has in store for us next.
