Santa Barbara Private Chef

Santa Barbara Private Chef Mattias Blom

I don't cater. I cook. Like any chef in a quality restaurant, I write a menu that reflects who I am, what I've learned over thirty-four years, and what's best in Santa Barbara right now. You're not hiring someone to execute a request. You're being invited to my table, set in your home or rental.

The food is, of course, the driving force behind the hard work that goes into producing special dining experiences each week, however . .

It does not come together without making new acquaintances and being a part of your group of friends and family, even if only for one evening.

Cooking for people to me is not catering; it is a relationship with those who are looking to make memories and have an experience that is more than just filling up on food.

It is a table with my own curated plateware and all the other details that set a table to serve as a special place for a few hours and bring you all together.

I have a close vendor collection that will bring you the very best, with dishes and flavors experienced here and nowhere else.
