Chef Michael Haigh
Personal Chef In North ProvidenceGet to know me better
New York City trained, Rhode Island raised. I strive to use the finest local ingredients to give you best possible meal!
I am a professional chef with over 14 years experience - starting in NYC under the tutelage of Michelin-starred chef, Saul Bolton, I eventually made my way back to RI where I was the Sous Chef at French fine dining restaurant Garde de la Mer under chef Robert Sisca. I started cooking for clients in their homes because I’ve always enjoyed seeing folks enjoy my food, as opposed to being a cog in the kitchen machine…
I would love to meet you!!
More about me
For me, cooking is...
the glue that binds us
I learned to cook at...
The French Culinary Institute, and also learned something new with each restaurant I worked in and each dish I created.
A cooking secret...
…is to never keep secrets. Everything I use is the highest quality and I won’t lie and say otherwise…
