I am a well rounded chef that loves challenges and making clients happy! I was born and raised here in Minnesota! I graduated from Le Cordon Bleu with a A.A.S degree in the culinary arts. I’ve worked at a melting pot of restaurants. From steakhouses to Turkish cooking and Latin American to Native American cooking.

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is my passion, my career, and my favorite thing to do. I love learning new cooking techniques, trying new foods, and smelling the kitchen!

I learned to cook at...

I learned about food from my mom. Her background is Turkish and my dads is ojibwe.

A cooking secret...

A big thing for me is being calm, relaxed, and focused during service. Also eating with your eyes first is key to a great dish.

Ethan was amazing. He was on time, prepared, and the food was DELICIOUS. We scheduled him for a 50th birthday dinner, and he made it so special. The 5 courses (plus Caesar salad) were all amazing. We couldn’t have expected better in a 5 star restaurant. I’d recommend Ethan to anyone. And I will.

I found Chef Ethan through a website called Take a Chef. I entered a few comments about what we were looking for as a group of ten girls coming from out of town for a bachelorette party. Not only was he super quick to provide a proposal, but it was so easy to work with him in terms of menu changes, pricing, and other planning aspects. Fast forward to the actual dinner party & I was so impressed with his ability to adapt to preparing our food in a smaller kitchen and still put out AMAZING food. Our whole party was raving and there wasn’t a single thing which disappointed. Chef Ethan also spent a significant amount of time cleaning up and ensuring our Airbnb was left in better condition than he found it. If you’re wondering if you should book with Chef Ethan, the answer is, YES! You will NOT be disappointed!

We had a great experience with Chef Ethan. The menu was amazing, we appreciated the versatility and variety of options with detailed descriptions. He was engaging in conversation about the cuisine and life experiences. It was a very special birthday gift! We'd encourage people to use Chef Ethan for their special events, gatherings, weddings etc.

Chef Ethan was spectacular! Will definitely hire him again!! We can’t stop talking about the food and experience! Awesome!

Great night with company for this chef dinner!!
