Hi, I’m Amy, a Chinese private chef based in Santa Monica specializing in authentic Chinese home cooking, private dining experiences, cooking classes, and special events.

After spending more than 15 years working in the technology industry, I decided to pursue another lifelong passion: cooking.

Growing up in China, I learned that food is more than nourishment—it is a way to bring people together. Some of my favorite memories are centered around sharing simple home-cooked meals with family and friends.

Today, I bring that same philosophy to every meal I prepare. My cooking focuses on authentic Chinese flavors adapted for modern lifestyles, using fresh ingredients and approachable techniques that appeal to both Chinese and American families.

Whether I’m preparing a private dinner, weekly family meals, or teaching a cooking class, my goal is simple: to create delicious food that feels comforting, balanced, and memorable.

Based in Los Angeles, I offer private dining experiences, meal preparation services, and cooking classes for individuals, families, and special events.
I look forward to cooking for you.
