PRIVATE CHEF
FOR YOUR NEXT GROUP OR FAMILY GATHERING
Meet The Chef
I grew up in my grandmother's Jewish Hungarian kitchen while surrounded by Middle Eastern foods and Mediterranean produce. My passion and experience are for slow food, generous plates and family style cooking. I'm a graduate of ICE and have almost 20 years of experience working with families, retreats, camps and more. I am currently based in NYC and working at Theodora's in Brooklyn. Vegan menus and traditional Kosher menus are my specialty.

The food was excellent, and I was quite happy with everything. Not
having to coordinate the planning among all the attendees, and us
not having to all bring food, and pots and cooking utensils we would
need was a MAJOR benefit of hiring Shai.

Shai is deeply trustworthy when it comes to food and food systems. I am humbled and inspired by his confidence and skill in the kitchen and pantry.

The food this year was fabulous. I wouldn't change a thing.
