Laura C.

"Private Chef | Pasta Whisperer | Alchemist" Whether you're looking for refined weekly meal prep or unforgettable dinner party menus, I bring the flavors of hearth and heritage to your home. With a charming rustic luxury and soulful authenticity, my flavors are rooted in the bold traditions of New Mexican/Mexican cuisine, and trained in the precision of French technique. I bring a global culinary fluency to every kitchen I enter. My educational background is in food anthropology. My approach to cooking blends the rustic elegance of my roots with central Italian studies and a deep reverence for Mediterranean ingredients, yielding dishes that are both grounded and transportive. From hand-rolled agnolotti and wild herb-stuffed porchetta to duck liver pâté with prickly pear gelée, I craft custom meals that celebrate heritage, seasonality, and a bit of heat—executed with intention and finesse. I am skilled in all culinary preferences and eating lifestyles.
