About Me

Hi, I'm Maya. I cook the kind of food I'd want at my own table — bright, seasonal, and meant for sharing. I shop the morning markets along the coast, cook in your kitchen, and leave it cleaner than I found it. Whether it's a quiet anniversary dinner or a backyard full of friends, my goal is the same: great food, zero fuss, everyone relaxed — including the host.
