Chef Ian
With over 20 years in professional kitchens, I bring a mix of refined technique and genuine hospitality to every event. My culinary journey began at 16, working at The Breakfast Room on Cape Cod before moving through corporate restaurants like TGI Fridays, Longhorn, and Texas Roadhouse, where I built a strong foundation in consistency and cleanliness. From there, I rose through the ranks at The International in Bolton, MA, ultimately serving as Executive Sous Chef before health challenges led me to step back and reimagine my career.
After time spent running a natural grocery café and honing my craft in fine dining and banquet settings—including the Bedford Village Inn—I returned home to Cape Cod to launch my private chef business. For the past five years, I’ve worked closely with families and clients across the Cape, bringing restaurant-level food into the comfort of their homes.
My style leans into local, seasonal ingredients with clean, bold flavors—whether it’s a seared scallop with brown butter and crispy basil, lobster risotto with lemon and herbs, or a vibrant summer salad picked fresh from the farm. Clients love my ability to create memorable experiences that feel both elevated and effortless, from intimate plated dinners to lively backyard gatherings.
At the heart of it all, my goal is simple: to craft food that brings people together. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, hosting family, or just looking to enjoy a beautiful meal at home, I’ll take care of every detail so you can relax and savor the moment.
