Private Chef Benjamen Defore

After 22 years of working in restaurants, I've most recently been cooking for and preparing menus and meal plans for clients in an exclusive and upscale senior living community, delivering fine dining experiences with carefully sourced ingredients and creative menus to delight and excite my clients. Dietary accommodations and providing memorable dining experiences to clientele that may require ingredient substitutions are my specialty including gluten-free, keto-friendly, or heart healthy options.

For me, cooking is...

the only art that can be appreciated by all five senses.

I learned to cook at...

Every opportunity I was given to do it, from my mema's kitchen as a child where I learned to make gravy, to my current role in a professional kitchen.
