About Us

Featured in Los Angeles Magazine as one of LA’s "Best Kept Secrets," Cari is a master of creating understated elegance and bringing a calm demeanor to life’s most demanding moments.

Raised in the idyllic neighborhood of Hancock Park, she grew up immersed in a world where refinement and thoughtful details were second nature. This foundation, combined with her impeccable discretion (a nod to that “Best Kept Secret” recognition), has made her a trusted private chef to prominent figures in Hollywood, the NBA, and the world of philanthropy.
 
A graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, Cari honed her craft in a classically trained kitchen and worked under three of Los Angeles’ most celebrated chefs, whose influence has shaped the city’s vibrant dining culture. Her culinary and event-planning expertise also landed her a spotlight on eight episodes of the Style Network's You’re Invited.
 
Whether designing bespoke kitchens that seamlessly marry aesthetics and functionality, or orchestrating flawless, sophisticated events, Cari is the trusted partner for those seeking excellence. Deeply involved and with meticulous attention to detail, Cari delivers an elevated experience from start to finish.

From your home to the world’s most refined kitchens and gatherings, Cari brings her artistry, expertise, and unwavering attention to detail.
