“Brian brings an artist’s touch to food. Not in the flashy, over-plated way, but in the deeply thoughtful way. Every ingredient feels chosen. Every flavor, balanced. You can tell he’s cooked in big kitchens, but what he brings to our home is intimacy and integrity. The food is clean, grounded, and packed with flavor. And he’s just so easy to work with — communicative, reliable, flexible. A real gem.”

We had the pleasure of working with Brian for my dad’s 80th birthday dinner on Whidbey Island, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very first message, Brian was an incredible communicator—thoughtful, responsive, and totally on top of every detail. He struck that perfect balance between planning ahead with intention and being flexible enough to adjust as needed on the day of (since we were in a rental house and new to the kitchen). The dinner was phenomenal. Every dish was beautifully prepared and showcased the best of the region—fresh, local, and full of flavor. And he totally nailed the tone we were going for: something relaxed and unpretentious but still really special. Everyone felt taken care of, and my dad couldn’t have been happier. The experience was everything we hoped it would be, and then some. If you’re looking for a chef who brings skill, heart, and a deep love of local ingredients to the table, Brian is the one. We'd book him again in a heartbeat.

"As someone with a nonstop schedule and very specific dietary needs, I needed a chef who could keep up, pivot quickly, and still deliver food that doesn’t feel like ‘meal prep.’ Brian does all that — and more. He’s flexible, creative, incredibly easy to communicate with, and above all, a master at what he does. I have received meals that are beautifully balanced, healthy and full of flavor. He makes eating well effortless. Total pro."

“Brian showed up, took one glance at the chaos that is my kitchen, and didn’t even flinch. He got to work and turned our sad, unused pans into vessels of greatness. He is unfazed and unflappable. And the food? Ridiculously good. Every dish is simple in the best way: clean, bold, and full of flavor. He also just gets it. I threw out a few vague preferences, and he translated that into meals we genuinely look forward to. He listens, adapts, and makes the whole process feel easy.”

"Hiring Brian was hands down one of the smartest decisions we’ve made as a family. Before finding him, 5 p.m. was basically a daily panic spiral. Now we open the fridge and there’s a whole lineup of meals that everyone wants to eat, even my picky 9-year-old who thinks all green food is “suspicious.” Brian is like a culinary mind-reader. Also, my husband thinks we should adopt him."

“Brian has transformed how my family eats at home. Every dish he prepares is thoughtful, nourishing, and deeply flavorful. What he prepares is always spot on with what we’re craving. He listens. He adapts. He brings a quiet kind of magic to our kitchen that has made mealtime feel like a ritual again. Working with Brian has been one of the best investments we’ve ever made in our health and happiness.”
