About Chef Rachel
Bringing Joy to Your Table,
One Thoughtful Meal at a Time
Hi! I’m Rachel, a private chef dedicated to crafting unforgettable dining experiences that bring comfort, joy, and connection to your table.
I’ve had the honor of training under a White House chef, working in Michelin-starred kitchens, and learning from some of the most incredibly talented chefs along the way. As a top graduate of Johnson & Wales, I bring over 10,000 hours of culinary expertise to the table—blending technique, artistry, and a deep love for food that inspires everything I create.
I believe food is more than just nourishment—it’s the foundation of our energy, health, and daily well-being. The right meals can help heal chronic illness, boost energy, improve sleep, and even strengthen relationships. My goal is to craft dishes that not only taste exceptional but also support a vibrant, thriving life.
I specialize in custom, health-focused menus, with a focus on farm-to-table, Mediterranean, and high-end tasting menus—all tailored to your unique tastes and dietary needs. My services include:
🍽 Multi-Course Tasting Menu Dinners – A Michelin-level dining experience in the comfort of your home.
👨👩👧👦 Family-Style Dinner Parties – Elegant yet approachable meals designed to bring people together.
🏡 Daily In-Home Family Dinners – Fresh, chef-prepared meals served in your home, so your family can enjoy delicious, stress-free dining every night.
🥗 Weekly Meal Prep – Thoughtfully curated, nourishing meals to keep you healthy and thriving.
Trusted by high-profile families, I’ve had the honor of cooking for Silicon Valley tech CEOs, Fortune 1000 executives, and other distinguished clients. Now, I’m excited to bring that same level of excellence to your home.
📍 Now accepting two new D.C.-based clients starting April 1st.
Let’s create something extraordinary—because the best moments in life happen around the table.
