PLEASE READ: WE ARE CHARGED FOR ALL INQUIRIES—SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!
Food is everything. It’s connection, it’s love, it’s the unspoken language that brings people together. We’ve spent our lives in kitchens, from Peru to Japan, obsessed with the craft, the flavors, the magic that happens when the right ingredients meet the right hands. Cooking isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are.
When you bring us in, you’re not just getting a meal—you’re getting an experience. We match you with a chef who lives and breathes the cuisine you crave. They arrive with the freshest ingredients, ready to cook everything on-site, turning your space into a private restaurant where every bite is made just for you.
Flora and Fauna is more than a private chef service—it’s a movement. We bring world-class dining straight to you, delivering an unforgettable experience with the kind of passion and dedication that turns a meal into a memory. This isn’t just food. This is everything.

I’ve been in the hospitality industry for 14 years. I started Little Plates which was a very successful healthy food program for kids in daycares and private schools. I traveled the country catering micro events for the last couple years, and started a luxury picnic business on the Oregon coast & Washington state. The Hudson Valley & the Tri-state area has always been my home and the uniqueness of it keeps me coming back!
