Chef Christopher Walker

Personal Chef In Cambridge

I am a two time Food Network Chopped Champion. I've also competed on Alex vs. America, and Fire Masters.

My cooking style is inspired by my travels. The east coast, west coast, Singapore, Thailand and various parts of Europe are just a few places that I learned from. The ingredients, techniques, and cultural understanding I obtained during these travels allow me to create meals that all can relate to.

I enjoy working with ingredients that I can be proud of. The vegetables in my menus are local, coming from Siena Farms in Sudbury River valley, MA. All the proteins are just as important and come from New England only.

My love for food is immeasurable, even more so I love to interact with people and share my knowledge. Food is the perfect way to bring people together, without reason.

For me, cooking is...

My passion and life's work.

I learned to cook at...

I studied at Johnson & Wales University for Culinary Arts. I also studied at Sunrise Academy in Singapore.

A cooking secret...

Sourcing, I work directly with farms to get the best ingredients.

Chef Chris was phenomenal! His food was so delicious and presented beautifully! You can tell he only uses the best ingredients in his dishes, which makes every bite an absolute delight! You will not regret having him at your next event!

Absolute perfection, chef Chris surpassed all our expectations! 10/10!

We had an amazing experience with Chef Chris! He was responsive to my questions and took care of everything. We had him join a party at an Airbnb - the kitchen wasn’t great, but we were in awe of the glorious food that he was able to whip up from it. Thank you, Chris. Highly recommended. Fabulous experience.

Chef Chris is talented, friendly, and professional. The ingredients were high quality, the presentation was excellent, and the food was delicious. Chef Chris accommodated some menu changes, food allergies, and worked with our schedule. He was very patient with our three year old who was curious about everything happening in the kitchen. He made the birthday party very special! Thank you Chef Chris! We will see you soon!

Loved Chef Christopher, would recommend him to anyone! Wonderful to be around as well and food excellent!

Our family loved Chef Chris - he was the ultimate professional and was very patient as we wrangled our young kids for the meal!

Very punctual, sociable and great chef. Cooked a delicious meal for my husband and I s anniversary. Very flexible with the menu. Will definitely request him again!

We hired Chef Walker for a special father’s day lunch. it was perfect in every way.

Chef Christopher made a delicious meal and was a lot of fun! He was easy to work with leading up to the dinner and had a great attitude at our party. We would highly recommend him!

Absolute professional, ready for anything. Generous with servings and flexible with menu selection. Listened to our requests. Look forward to doing it again!

We could not have been more pleased with Chef Walker. He was personable, respectful, and an incredible chef! He left my kitchen as (maybe more) spotless than he found it. Having him cook for us was a treat and we can't wait to do it again.

I brought Christopher in after I proposed to my (now) finance and he really helped to make the night that much more special. He was really helpful with coordinating everything, great to have in the kitchen, and the food was AMAZING!
