Hi there! I’m Donna de Surville, a private chef and culinary creative  passionate about crafting beautiful, thoughtful food experiences that nourish the body and delight the senses.

 

Whether you're hosting a cozy dinner for friends, planning a celebration, or looking to bring ease and elegance to your next weekend getaway, I’m here to help you do it deliciously.

​​

As your private chef, I bring more than just food to the table—I bring joy, ease, and a sense of occasion. My menus are thoughtfully curated to reflect the season, your preferences, and the mood of your event—whether that’s an elegant plated dinner, a family-style feast, or a laid-back brunch with coastal California vibes.

​

I am equally comfortable executing a five-course wine-paired tasting menu as I am creating elevated comfort food that feels like home—only better and my background in event design adds that extra touch of magic.​

​

My style is rooted in seasonal, California-inspired cuisine, my food is ingredient-driven, artfully presented, and always made with love. Expect vibrant produce, layered flavors, and menus that reflect your personal story and style.
