FULLY CUSTOMIZED MENUS
I plan each menu individually with each client, based on a series of questions regarding preferences and dietary restrictions, and using the freshest, local seasonal ingredients available.
Below is a sample of a few recent menus from my experience as a private chef on Martha’s Vineyard and Cape Cod.
