Get to know me better

Forever curious and dedicated chef/hospitality nerd.

Hi, I’m Rowan! I’ve cooked professionally for about 10 years, in some of Portland’s beloved restaurants as well as on my own doing private events and catering.

The personal chef business I started in 2020 allowed me the incredible opportunity to practice and learn about new cuisines and techniques. I got to know some incredible farmers and makers along the way, as I try to shop locally for my clients’ events.

I’ll work with you in every step to create a memorable experience through food. My goal is for my clients to just be present with their guests - and not have to do any dishes!

For me, cooking is...

I learned to cook at...

Sammich PDX, Nostrana, Wilder, and a few other fantastic local spots. YouTube University, And by asking good questions to really great cooks.

A cooking secret...

Put your heart on your sleeve, and double the garlic.
