The Full Story

About

Welcome to Oak & Ember, where passion for food meets community spirit. After a decade of serving as private chef for high-profile clients across the country, I came to the realization: the moments that matter most are the ones shared around the table, especially with family.

 

Now rooted in my local community, I'm bringing that same level of culinary care and creativity to beautifully crafted dinners designed to nourish both body and soul.

 

Join me on this flavorful journey as we celebrate the joy of good food together.

Mission

At Oak & Ember, we understand the challenges of busy family life. Juggling work, activities, and self-care can make it tough to gather around the dinner table. We’re here to relieve that pressure and help you feel proud of serving delicious, home-cooked meals to your loved ones. Let us take care of dinner, so you can focus on what matters most—creating cherished memories together.

Vision

We cherish our pizza nights and the convenience of fast-food drive-thrus during road trips, just like everyone else. But as kids grow, I believe in laying a foundation of good food habits. That's why we make it a priority to gather around the table a few nights a week, free of phones and screens. It's all about enjoying delicious meals together and creating lasting memories as a family.

Cooking Principles 

Welcome to my kitchen, where I express my passion for cooking through every ingredient I choose. My love for open flame cooking brings a rustic flair to my dishes, from made-from-scratch mac and cheese to my signature BBQ rubs and sauces. I believe in the power of good fats like butter, avocado oil, and coconut oil, while steering clear of seed oils, high-fructose corn syrup, and artificial dyes. Join me in savoring the authentic flavors that come from using only the best ingredients!
