Chef Seth Costello

Personal Chef In Vancouver

I am a professional chef with 25 years experience as a chef. I was born in Dayton, OH but I have traveled my entire life all over the country. This not only taught me how to be open to culture but to be curious about where it all began, as well as what the traditions around the cuisine are. What I came to find was the simplest answer, Love. They all involve love, community, and peace. That is why I keep moving forward with my craft, i'm forever learning. I love being able to share what I've learned to others, it gives me goosebumps when i see their eyes light up.

For me, cooking is...

My craft, my passion, my muse, my therapy, is what defines me. I've spent my life working with food from 11 years old, it's all I know.

I learned to cook at...

I started my trial and error, a lot. I paid attention from the sidelines at family gatherings, restaurants, anywhere that served food.

A cooking secret...

Love the one thing I was taught from the sweetest black southern woman I ever met she was my friends grandma. Spam and soul food all it takes is LOVE

Seth made delicious food and was very friendly and accommodating. We can’t wait to have him back again!

Seth was fantastic to work with. We exchanged several messages while planning. He always answered promptly and was very accommodating with my ideas of what we wanted. Once at our home, he worked swiftly and neatly and left our kitchen exactly as it was before he arrived! It was as though he hadn't even neen in there, it was so clean! And of course our meal was so fun and delicious!!

Chef Seth provided a great first experience using a private chef. It was for a friends birthday celebration and she loved it which is most important. The food was excellent.

We immensely enjoyed having Seth come to our Airbnb and prepare a delicious plated dinner for our family. He was easy to communicate with and worked really hard getting a cohesive menu put together for a bunch of picky eaters. Watching him prep and enjoying the aromas while he was cooking was an added bonus to a delicious meal.

Seth was professional, punctual, friendly, and made excellent food.
