Private Chef Matthew Tucker

I am a classically trained chef rooted in Northern California. I have 15 years of restaurant, catering, and winery experience, including working as a cook as at Michelin-starred establishments. With practice in both fine dining and casual fare, I now focus on French, Italian, Spanish, Korean, and New American Cuisines, with influences and abilities in many others.

For me, cooking is...

An art and a basic necessity.

I learned to cook at...

Home. My curiosity in the kitchen began in my early teenage years, and I enjoyed cooking meals for family. I began in professional kitchens at age 18.
