I’m Sierra, a freelance private chef working across yachts, sailing charters, research vessels, luxury retreats, and private estates around the world. My culinary journey began early. In high school, my first job was as a prep cook at a small family-owned French restaurant, where I developed strong foundational kitchen skills including knife work, preparation, and attention to detail.

​

Nearly a decade later, those early lessons proved invaluable when I began working on yachts as a cook and crew chef. In 2022, I decided to focus fully on private chef work and completed my culinary certifications at Ashburton Cookery School, expanding both my technical range and culinary perspective. Life in remote and private environments has shaped my ability to adapt to diverse tastes, work intuitively with local and seasonal ingredients, and create thoughtful dining experiences in ever-changing settings.

​

Those experiences continue to guide my approach in the kitchen. I create seasonally driven menus rooted in whole foods and inspired by each place I cook. Fresh, vibrant ingredients are balanced with moments of indulgence, from handmade breads and sauces to thoughtful wine pairings and carefully presented dishes designed to feel both restorative and abundant.

Each menu is tailored to individual preferences and dietary needs, promoting well-being without ever sacrificing pleasure or sophistication.
