a semi-chaotic breakfast post 16 hour private chef day 😅 the toast deets:

— sourdough
— @good_culture cottage cheese
— tomato, 7 minute jammy egg, microgreens
— @wearebrightland pizza oil (not just for pizza 😤)

that’s all, time for a nap

prep for a 10 person dinner and my favorite menu so far this summer 🤭 you’ll have to wait for the dinner to see everything but it involves homemade gnocchi and blueberry tart 🫐👩🏻‍🍳🐉

#privatechef #dayinthelife #diml #lbi #longbeachisland #cheflife #mealprep #gnocchi #blueberrytart

another day in the life, this time prepping for an 8 person dinner…a typical day private cheffing usually starts with making dessert (the most labor intensive task first), sourcing local ingredients, then prepping all the sauces & marinades needed for the dinner

#privatechef #dayinthelife #diml #lbi #longbeachisland #cheflife #mealprep

less than a year ago I decided I was going to start my own private chef business and now I get to make really cool people tomato galettes and that is truly living the dream 🥹🍅👩🏻‍🍳🐉 the full menu:
— shrimp oreganata
— tomato galette with herb ricotta
— caesar with garlic breadcrumbs & house-made dressing
— eggplant parm w basil oil
— chicken milanese w arugula pickled shallot salad
— tiramisu cake

the daily supplement & juice shot routine may be the only reason I am still standing 🫚🍋🧃

#privatechef #cheflife #dayinthelife #diml #lbi #longbeachisland #summercooking

the prep before the prep - every meal I make starts with sourcing the highest quality ingredients I can find. this sets the tone for my end product…if the raw ingredients are great then my end dish will be even better (assuming I don’t mess something up lol)👩🏻‍🍳🐉🍅

an easy east coast summer hits the soul just right 🦪🍉🌊🌽🇺🇸💙

#eastcoastsummer #lbi #longbeachisland #july4th

1 year ago this month I started The Food Dragon private chef business 👩🏻‍🍳🐉 I have no words to express how grateful I am for the support I’ve received from the LBI community and everyone who tunes in to follow my cheffing adventures. When I was little and people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I’d say “I want to be on the food network”…and now I have my own private cheffing business - a real life dream 🥹

the journey continues!! now back to the kitchen 🤌🏼

let’s all make this for the 4th 🫡🍅🌽🇺🇸

Farmers Market Succotash Salad:
— 6/7 ears of corn (jersey corn if you know what you’re doing) boiled, cooled and cut off the cob
— 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
— 1lb of green beans, blanched and cut into 1 inch bites
— 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
— torn basil
— chives (cilantro or parsley would be great too)

Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing
— 1 lemon, juiced
— 1/2 cup evoo
— salt & pepper to taste
— 1ish tsp honey

Blend dressing together & toss with salad right before serving. Also peaches would be crazy in this, use what you have!!

1. start grilling your sourdough and 2. rub garlic on said grilled sourdough for garlic flavor minus the bite of raw garlic

your end dish is only as good as the raw ingredients you use - a philosophy I’ve always cooked from & one that was reinforced during my culinary school program in Italy 👩🏻‍🍳🍑🌿🍅🧄🦞🍋
