Introduction

*Serious inquiries only. Please note that Thumbtack typically charges professionals between $40-$100 each time they receive an inquiry. I can also be reached at livegreenspdx at g mail dot com.* I offer weekly meals made in your home and kept in your fridge for ease and sanitation. I’m a trained certified chef with over 25 years of professional cooking experience in a variety of settings. I have catered for celebrities, 300+ person events, weddings, and have been a private chef all over the world for many years.

Wow! What a treat! What an amazing brunch for Mother’s Day! Prime rib was cooked to perfection, the fried chicken with waffles made my house smell amazing and was my favorite! The fruit salad and potato salad were perfect for the start of summer and were a big hit! A family favorite is the deviled eggs and they did not disappoint! A beautifully displayed spread! He included a pecan cheesecake for dessert and it was the best cheesecake I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot! Very impressed and very pleased! He cooked, served, cleaned and it was a perfect gift for my high standard mother! LOL! THANK YOU RYAN! Will be returning!

Chef Ryan was fantastic! Five star all the way. Accommodating, personable, professional and the food was outstanding! He was meticulous and cleaned the kitchen after dinner leaving it spotless. He made the birthday dinner for seven of us an amazing memorable experience. Thank you!
