I’m a Winnipeg Private Chef that grew up cooking in restaurants on the West Coast. I love bringing people together through food and drink and my style focusses on incorporating fermentation, umami or nostalgia into every bite.

Hi, I’m Jake

A chef using culinary techniques for his custom dish in a four course dining private chef experience
  • A landscape of mountains with a lake in the foreground and grassy hills, under a cloudy sky.

    "We are so glad we hired Jake as our private chef for our friends’ Christmas gathering and everything was great! The food was delicious, the cocktails were amazing, and he was truly a lovely person to have in our home. We’d definitely recommend him!"

    - Breanna S. (Winnipeg, MB)

  • Mountain range with snow-capped peaks in background, rolling green and brown hills in foreground, and a modern building on the hillside.

    "Jake has a gifted ability to present and prepare common ingredients in a way that reintroduces you to the world of what they could be. His imagination is evident in everything he does. To us, his thoughtful sourcing of ingredients, surgical preparation, whimsical presentation, and kind presence is what sets him apart."

    Alexander M. (Niagara Falls, ON)

  • Modern wooden house with large glass window situated in a mountainous landscape with dry grass and sparse trees.

    "Jake is a skilled and creative chef. I’ve had the privilege of enjoying his cooking on multiple occasions, and have always been impressed by his breadth of knowledge about food, wine, cocktails, etc. He’s communicative and dependable - 10/10 would recommend!"
