Kitchen

Every menu is written for your table: clean ingredients, real conversations, and food made for exactly who's eating.

What I offer

Three ways to work together.

Each service starts the same way, with a conversation about your household, your goals, and what you need on the table.

01

Meal Prep at Home

A rotating week of clean meals, ready to eat, cooked in your kitchen and tailored to your goals and restrictions.

From the table

A few favorites.

Philosophy

Clean food, no exceptions needed.

I cook with an emphasis on extremely clean, whole ingredients, and I'm well versed in dietary restrictions of every kind, celiac included, since it's something I manage myself.

That means gluten free, dairy free, or any other restriction isn't an inconvenience or an afterthought. It's built into the menu from the very first conversation.

"Food should never feel like it's working against you, even, and especially, when you're the one with the dietary restrictions."

Meal Prep at Home

A week's worth of clean meals made from whole ingredients, cooked in your own kitchen and left ready to reheat. This is the service for people who want to eat well every day without the daily grind of planning, shopping, and cooking themselves.

We start with a conversation about your goals, your schedule, and anything off the table: allergies, celiac, dairy free, or any other restriction. From there I build a rotating menu, shop for everything myself, and cook a full week of meals directly in your kitchen, packaged and labeled for easy reheating.

  • Weekly or biweekly cadence, built around your schedule
  • Menus rotate so meals never feel repetitive
  • Full attention to allergies and dietary restrictions, celiac included
  • Cooked fresh in your kitchen, not delivered from elsewhere

For clients who would rather I cook elsewhere, I also offer meal delivery: I prepare everything in my own kitchen, then bring your week of meals directly to your door, ready to store and reheat. Same clean ingredients and dietary care, just without needing me in your kitchen.

  • Cooked in my kitchen, delivered fresh to yours
  • Good fit for smaller households or tighter kitchen access
  • Same rotating menus, with the same care for dietary needs

Dining
Seared scallops with purple potato, radish, and herb oil

Private Dining

A full dinner experience cooked fresh in your home, for a date night, an anniversary, a birthday, or simply because you'd rather stay in than go out. I bring the ingredients, cook course by course in your kitchen, and handle the cleanup so all you have to do is sit down and eat.

Menus are designed around your tastes and the occasion, with as many or as few courses as you'd like. Dietary restrictions are never an afterthought; they're built into the menu from the first conversation.

  • Custom menus with as many courses as you like, planned around your preferences
  • Shopping, cooking, plating, and full cleanup included
  • Wine pairing suggestions available on request
  • Ideal for date nights, anniversaries, and intimate celebrations

Small Special Events at Home

For milestone birthdays, holiday gatherings, and small celebrations hosted at home, I plan and cook a menu for your guest list from start to finish, so you can host without spending the whole event in the kitchen.

This service is built for smaller gatherings at home rather than large catering jobs, which means every dish still gets the same attention to detail and dietary care as a private dinner, just scaled for a group.

  • Best suited to intimate gatherings hosted in your home
  • Menu planning around guest count and mixed dietary needs
  • Cooking, serving, and cleanup, all handled
  • Available for birthdays, holidays, and other small celebrations

Not sure which service fits?

Tell me a bit about what you have in mind and I'll help figure out the right fit.

Chef Maya Rehrer smiling while plating a dish

I grew up on Maui, where I fell in love with cooking early on. That love for food eventually took me to Portland, Oregon, for culinary school, where I trained and worked my way up through professional kitchens to a Sous Chef role.

After that, I moved back home to Maui, where I spent five years working as a private chef and caterer, cooking for households and events across the island. Now I'm based in Fort Lauderdale, bringing that same background to private dining, meal prep, and small events at home here.

My approach centers on extremely clean eating: real, whole ingredients, cooked simply and well. I'm also well versed in dietary restrictions of every kind, celiac included, since I manage celiac myself. Gluten free, dairy free, or any other need isn't an exception to the menu; it's built in from the start.

Dietary focus

Extremely clean eating, with deep experience across allergies and dietary restrictions, including celiac, which I manage personally. Every menu is built around what you can eat, never around what you have to work around.

Can't decide? Tell me some of your preferences and I'll take it from there.
