Private Chef In New York City
Get to know me better
Private chef of nine years, providing decadent food artistry through heart-centered experiences.
I'm Indi, a private chef and baker of nine years currently in NYC. The purpose of my mission is to innovate, inspire and offer nourishment as a channel for connection. I source only the freshest, organic and most wholesome ingredients to prepare, though I grew up like the next person; learning alongside my mom, making classic American and Caribbean comfort foods. My studies also allowed me to specialize in international cuisine, so I’m able to offer the best of all worlds for your gathering. I offer custom, goal-based meal planning and preparation, nutritional and culinary advice, artisanal baking services and menu and recipe writing. I also cater events! If ever you're looking for an experienced and intentional chef for your next event, feel free to reach out!
More about me
For me, cooking is...
a form of therapeutic ancestral communication.
I learned to cook at...
my mother’s kitchen, originally. Then, through classical culinary training at Monroe College.
A cooking secret...
is to expand my consciousness in how I see the usefulness/pairings of food, and challenge the ideas of new, refreshing, inspiring flavors.
