Private Chef in Franklin Lakes

Booking a personal chef in Franklin Lakes is designed to feel effortless from the very first conversation. Chef Matt starts by learning about your household — how many people you're feeding, the dietary preferences and restrictions in your home, the kitchen you're working with, and the kind of experience you want to create. From there, he builds a fully custom menu and confirms every detail in writing before the date so there are no surprises on the day of service.

Every booking includes complete planning, sourcing of fresh seasonal ingredients, in-home cooking, plating or portioning, and a full kitchen cleanup before he leaves. For weekly meal prep clients in Franklin Lakes, that means meals labeled, dated, and stored in your refrigerator or freezer with simple reheating instructions. For private dinner parties, it means a full course-by-course experience served on your own table, with Chef Matt handling pacing, presentation, and clearing throughout the evening.

With more than eighteen years in professional kitchens — including time as an executive chef by age twenty-two and ongoing membership in the United States Personal Chef Association — Chef Matt brings restaurant-level technique into homes throughout Franklin Lakes. The result is food that tastes like a fine-dining experience, served in the comfort of the place you already love most.
