Private Chef Marty Durham, NC, United States

You will dine sufficiently!

As noted in my intro, I learned to cook many types of authentic cuisines but am most fond of southern and Italian. I now cook a fusion style that could easily be southern food with an asian Italian twist. I prefer not to create dishes that every chef or restaurant will serve. For example; my chicken n waffles are made with savory cheesy waffles, herbed oven baked wings and a home made sweet n spicy maple syrup. That's truly cooking with a twist! My ribeye steaks are classic and I'd put them side by side against the best steak houses in America any day, and not fear losing to them. If you are looking for a basic meal service, I'm probably not the right chef for you. Basic bores me! However, if you like living on the edge, I'm all in with you! Many of my dishes will be used only once, as I make it up on the fly. It depends on the flavors that my clients enjoy.

I am currently not taking appointments until May due to an extended contract. My apologies for the inconvenience! I'm a self taught chef that trained in Europe while playing professional basketball. I'm strong in southern cuisine and Italian but have found that I cook a lot of fusion dishes. I'm a personal chef, caterer and past restaurant owner. I also have my own line of spices as well as 10 published cook books.
