about megan
Hi there! Can’t wait to meet you.
I grew up in a restaurant family, starting in the Hudson Valley, moving through the Hamptons, and eventually settling in Maplewood. My love for food took root early, spending time with my uncle in his kitchens, where I learned the joy of sharing meals with others. I went on to work with culinary icons, spending five years alongside Ina Garten and later refining my craft at Restaurant Daniel.
When I became a mother, I struggled to find balance and often wished for a fairy godmother to magically fill my fridge with healthy, organic meals. That experience inspired me to create a service that brings warmth, ease, and delicious food to others.
Today, I focus on small, personalized projects that let me connect with my community. Maplewood’s unique vibe has become my muse, and I love providing my neighbors with a private chef service that feels as special as the meals I create. Let me make you something special—you deserve it.
