Meet The Chef…
I’m Luke. I love food. I love to cook what’s seasonal, local, and as fresh as can be. Food is more than just something to eat. It brings people together in ways nothing else can. Let me turn food into an unforgettable experience for you.
fOR ME, COOKING IS…
a way to get lost in something I love. To put that onto a plate- to tell a story of the ingredients and the people who created them- to create an unforgettable experience around food- is everything
I Learned to cook at…
a very young age, never having gone through formal education, I let my experience in the field and my knowledge from my mentors shine through
A cooking secret…
is always adding a dash of unexpected spice, blend of cuisines or wild ingredient, making every dish uniquely mine

Our menu consultation process is designed to ensure that every aspect of your catering experience is personalized and perfect. It begins with filling out this request an event form with essential details about your event, including the number of guests, the occasion, your food preferences, and any dietary requirements.
Based on this information, we craft a draft menu featuring coursed small plates, starters, and optional drink pairings that align with your vision. We then invite your feedback, allowing you to suggest adjustments or confirm your choices, ensuring that the menu truly reflects your tastes and needs. The final revision incorporates all your input, culminating in a tailored menu poised to delight you and your guests at the event.
My approach is highly personalized, ensuring that each menu is thoughtfully tailored to align with specific dietary needs and preferences. This personalized touch extends to every aspect of my service, from the initial detailed consultation to the meticulous execution of each dish, guaranteeing an unforgettable culinary experience that is as beneficial to health as it is pleasurable to the palate. This commitment to quality, health, and personalization sets me apart in the culinary world, making my service the ideal choice for those who value their health as much as their dining experience.
Absolutely, I can accommodate any and all food allergies without compromising the quality or enjoyment of your dining experience. For example, I once developed a new recipe for gluten-free pasta dough that was so good, I served it to all my guests, not just those with gluten sensitivities. It was completely indistinguishable from regular pasta, showcasing how allergen-friendly food can be just as delicious and satisfying. My goal is to ensure that everyone at your table can enjoy the same great tastes and textures, regardless of their dietary restrictions.
My primary service area encompasses a wide region, ranging from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs, and extending along the I-70 corridor from Denver to Grand Junction. This extensive coverage allows me to bring unique dining experiences to a broad array of locations, ensuring that no matter where you are within these areas, you can enjoy the full spectrum of my private chef services.
I also offer travel services if you are outside of my direct service area. Please fill out this request an event form to inquire.
To secure your booking, I require a 20% down deposit. This initial deposit helps cover material costs and confirms your event on my schedule. The remaining balance is due on the night of the event, after everyone has enjoyed their meal and is fully satisfied. This arrangement ensures that all aspects of the service meet your expectations before final payment is made.
The service fee includes comprehensive menu development, tailored to your specific preferences and dietary needs. It also covers all aspects of meal preparation from shopping for ingredients to cooking and final presentation. Additionally, I handle all travel to and from your location as well as complete cleanup after the meal. For those looking for a more enhanced dining experience, I offer optional services such as non-alcoholic drink options and wine pairing recommendations to complement your chosen dishes. Each element is carefully considered to provide a seamless and enjoyable dining experience from start to finish.
Yes, I do, though I take on long-term personal chef work very rarely and on a highly selective, client-by-client basis. My experience includes working with UHNW families, professional athletes, and celebrities, offering tailored culinary services that meet the highest standards. If you’re interested, please feel free to inquire for more details.
