Korean Sesame Chicken Thighs with Peanut Cucumber Rice Noodles
Korean pear-marinated sesame chicken thighs served with creamy peanut cucumber rice noodles and sautéed bok choy. A flavorful, balanced dinner from a working private chef.
Lemon Loaf with Strawberry Glaze
The most summer of all summer loafs.
Tried and true, a client favorite.
The Classic Thai Beef Salad
A salad with a little violence in it.
Seared flank steak, cold cucumber, tomato, red onion, herbs, lime, fish sauce, chili, and toasted rice powder. It is sharp, fresh, salty, sour, a little sweet, and deeply unserious about being “just a salad.”
Thai Chili Lime Salmon Bowls
These Thai chili lime salmon bowls layer lime-garlic salmon, coconut jasmine rice, crisp herb slaw, toasted peanuts, and a balanced fish sauce-lime dressing. Chef-created, client-approved, and built with flavor first.
Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon Herb Couscous and Greek Vegetable Salad
A bright, fresh, private chef style salmon meal prep with lemon herb couscous and a crisp Greek vegetable salad. It is simple, balanced, and very much not another sad container of chicken and broccoli.
Sticky Date Cake
Dark, soft, glossy, and quietly dramatic, this sticky date cake gets its richness from dates, maple syrup, and a warm coconut glaze.
Almond Croissant Cookies
A deeply toasted, almond-forward cookie with crisp edges, tender centers, and just enough croissant nostalgia to keep things interesting.
Tomato Pie Breakfast Egg Bites
These aren’t the rubbery egg bites haunting airport kiosks. They’re soft, rich, tomato-studded little breakfast miracles with strong main-character energy.
“Peak Season”… a place for food, rhythm & living well
Peak Season is live. Because “coming soon” was starting to feel a little dishonest.
