Introduction
Delicious and healthy farm-to-table cuisine is one of my great passions in life! Food is a universal language and it’s power to bring people together — while nourishing and revitalizing the body — is an ancient tradition passed down from my Italian side of the family. I’ve worked as a private chef in San Francisco and LA for the past 17 years . I’m an avid world traveler, deepening my skill set and picking up tricks of the trade everywhere I go — Italy, France, Australia, Thailand and Indonesia are a few faves …… Make your next celebratory occasion worldly, artful and unforgettable with Gaia Cuisine !

My family and I had a wonderful experience with Chef Nikki for my birthday dinner. She took the time to understand my food restrictions and gave me delicious options to choose for dinner. She was communicative, professional and extremely thorough. Plus she left my kitchen emasculate afterwards! Easy going, and relaxing experience with her 👍🏼😃

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 3 - 5 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • French • Italian • Asian • American - casual • American - formal • Gluten free or celiac • Dairy intolerant • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Nikki is creative, professional, and all about meeting the individual needs of her customers. For our family, she created box lunches for a birthday picnic in a peach orchard, she cooked weekly family dinners during a very pressured time in our lives, and later she created heart-healthy meals that helped my vegetarian husband lose weight after his heart attack. She's a gem!!

Nikki was an awesome chef for our small dinner (10 people). The food was delicious, served right on time, and looked phenomenal! She was very kind and professional. 5 stars! Would hire again!

We engaged Chef Nikki with Gaia Cuisine to manage food for our 30th Wedding Anniversary celebration. We wanted to be sure everything went well, and that we could relax about details and enjoy our special day. Chef Nikki exceeded our expectations! She is organized, professional and has a superb understanding of preparing and serving healthy gourmet quality food. We highly recommend Chef Nikki and Gaia Cuisine.

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I began cooking under the master tutelage of my Auntie — flour all over my tiny apron — at age 5 . I used to ask her to gather and prep ingredients while trying to take over the big jobs as I was clearly “head chef” and she was my “assistant.” We laugh — and agree to disagree — to this day ! Ha .

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Upscale foodies who value their health, planetary well-being and connection with family and friends — and who know how to savor adventurous and tasty cuisine prepared with love !

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Cooking in someone’s home is an intimate affair . I encourage people to talk to a few people by phone or in person — and go with your gut and/or intuition regarding the best fit with your vision .
