Personal Cheffing
“Change your kitchen, change your life! Hiring Nick is the best investment in self-care I ever made!!! Nick combines the comfort of a home cooked meal; the expertise of a private chef; the design aesthetics of a culinary curator; and the mindfulness of a kitchen magician who always keeps your fridge stocked with fresh fruits & vegetables and your pantry staples topped off. Now I am spoiled by his fresh, clean cooking; his ability to vegan-ize anything upon request; and his uncanny knack for re-creating my favorite “junk foods” out of healthier foods that somehow taste even better than the original snack.
However when Nick first arrived, my kitchen was so chaotic and overwhelming that it caused me a great deal of anxiety at every mealtime. His was an unbelievably transformative experience: the more times he organized/stocked my kitchen and prepared weekly home cooked meals designed just for me, the less anxious I became overall! Nick’s sincere and consistent positive attitude instilled the feeling that if I could change what and how I ate, I could change anything about myself. Of course the deliciously superior quality of his ingredients and methods of preparation had many direct benefits to my physical health but I was shocked at how much my mental health improved by a perfectly timed cup of steaming hot soup. Good Food = Good Mood”
“In working with Nick I was able to improve my health, elevate my mood, and achieve my ideal weight after a lifetime of struggles with the scale and now I am living my best life! In a very patient and compassionate way he changed the way I ate forever. He made delicious meals that were healthy and full of a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. He organized my refrigerator and my kitchen, making sure I had everything I needed to eat in a way that was very satisfying and made sure I had all the nutrients my body needed. And I immediately felt better, had an increase of energy, and am living my healthiest life.
In the previous year I had lost my mom to cancer, and Nick’s food was like medicine that helped me heal— and did I mention it is also DELICIOUS! (Worth mentioning twice, yum!) During this difficult and challenging time bringing Nick’s cooking into my life was the best decision I’ve ever made, you should too!”
“My experience with Nick was simply outstanding. He made it so easy. Everything was delicious and his passion for cooking is unmatchable. I have more energy, I feel great and I have more confidence in the kitchen now. Which I never thought was possible. ”

“I met Nick at a private event up in New York. So impressed was I with his work that when organizing a New Year’s Gala in Washington, DC, I decided to bring Nick down. A Gala hosting more than 150 people requires a good deal of planning. From advising on different alternatives to an impeccable execution, Nick offered us a true treat, a unique, completely stress-free, culinary experience. Nick’s creation was artistic all around… He combined tastes and colors with presentation and an exquisitely elegant display in what became a truly memorable night. Nick delighted our guests with an unparalleled experience, second to none. The event took place a couple of years ago. To this day, guests are still talking about Nick’s creations and the overall success of a truly unforgettable New Year’s night in our Nation’s Capital. Nick is, unmistakably, an extremely gifted artist.”
“I thought the food was spectacular, Nick worked with me on the dishes tailoring them to what I wanted, able to bring everything to my home, not only prepare but also serve for a large party and clean up. Overall very very satisfied with everything. I know people still talk about that party and the food, now years later.”
