“For the past eight years, I’ve been blessed to call Kauai home—an island whose ingredients and spirit continually shape my cooking. With experience in fine-dining kitchens, private in-home settings, and time spent traveling through Europe and the Mediterranean to deepen my craft, I create personalized menus rooted in fresh, local flavors. I’ve had the opportunity to cook for a diverse range of visitors and residents, including clients who value discretion and genuine hospitality. Whether preparing a multi-course dinner, a relaxed family meal, or a wellness-focused menu, my approach is grounded, nurturing, and centered on wholesome, vibrant food.”
“I’ve always looked to nature for inspiration in the kitchen – so seeing where my father grew up, I’ve been more than grateful to push my craft in such a sacred and beautiful place.”
“My hope is to provide memorable dining experiences that enrich the soul and reflect the beauty and warmth of Kauai.”

Chef Nick came to our AirBnB on the south side of Kauai. He really worked with me to create a menu that combined the palates of midwestern meat and potatoes with the local produce from Kauai. Short ribs bites were to die for as well as the macadamia white fish. He uses what's local and in season so the fish can change. He paired wines with each course which was an additional cost but completely worth it. He took great care to explain each dish and went out of his way to interact with us which made us feel like he was a longtime friend. If you are looking for someone that really understands how to create not just a meal but an experience, definitely book Chef Nick!
