Chef David Ferragamo
Private Chef In Hudson
Massachusetts raised, David Ferragamo, is a full-time chef + part-time farmer, with a vast knowledge of locally foraged wild ingredients. After attending culinary school, Le Cordon Bleu Boston, Ferragamo worked amongst many restaurants throughout New England. He was a main component on many kitchens at places such as Tuscan Kitchen, Stages at One Washington, + Toro to name a few. Whilst attending culinary school, David spent his early years cooking for Harvard students on his nights off from the brigade, twice a week for 4 years. Open kitchens weren't enough, he peaked his interest to become more connected with who was eating his food. While transitioning between restaurants and private events, David also cooked for the disabled. He helped people within their homes that had a very hard time managing their diet, such as perfectly dicing and cooking food to certain requirements for clients with Osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease) so they could still manage to have a quality of life within their homes.
