The Malibu Chef Offerings

 

Private Chef & Event Catering — Malibu, Topanga & the Greater Los Angeles Coast

 

For over fifty years, fine dining has been my craft, my classroom, and my calling. Trained under Wolfgang Puck at Ma Maison and Spago, I’ve spent a lifetime cooking for the people and moments that matter most — from intimate dinners in Malibu homes to celebrations for hundreds. The Malibu Chef also prefers Organic whenever possible unless the client says otherwise. Along with flavor and presentation, the healthier the products, the better for you!

Catering for Every Chapter

​

Life asks for good food at every turn — the wedding toast, the holiday table, the quiet wake where comfort matters more than spectacle, the birthday that deserves more than a sheet cake.

I cater it all, with menus built around the moment, not a one-size-fits-all package.

​

• Weddings — full-service menus tailored to your story, your guests, your vision

• Memorials & Wakes — thoughtful, comforting food that honors a life

• Holidays — Thanksgiving, Christmas, Passover

• Birthdays & Milestones — celebratory menus for every age and every kind of gathering

• Private Chef Services — weekly meal prep, dinner parties, and everyday excellence in your own kitchen

• Drop-Off Catering — restaurant-quality food delivered ready to serve, no fuss required.

​

A Full Experience, Not Just a Menu

​

Great events are more than food. Over the years I’ve built relationships with

a handful of partners I trust completely, and I’m glad to bring them into your planning.

​

Venue- For weddings, memorials, and retreats with real soul, I recommend The Mountain Mermaid — a historic Spanish-Mediterranean estate tucked into five gardened acres in Topanga Canyon, with butterflies, fountains, and the kind of bohemian beauty you can’t manufacture.

​

Sound & Meditation- For events that call for something deeper — a wedding morning, a memorial, a milestone birthday — I work with Skirna, Dinah Englund’s guided sound and breath meditation sessions, woven in to ground your guests before or after the meal.

​

Full Event Planning- For clients who want a dedicated planner managing every detail, I recommend Dina Defterios of Our Society's Events, known for elevated, personal weddings and corporate events across Santa Barbara and Montecito, Santa Barbara.
