I'm not the chef you hire for a 40-person gala.I'm the chef you hire when you actually want to feel better.

My name is Felix. I'm a private chef based in Bixby Knolls, Long Beach, and I got into this because I genuinely believe food can change your life. Not in a dramatic, Instagram-caption way. In a real, practical, Tuesday-night way.

I don't have a French culinary pedigree. I didn't train at a Michelin-starred restaurant. What I do have is years of cooking for real people with real health challenges, real dietary needs, and a real desire to actually enjoy what they eat, not just tolerate it.

My ethos is simple: food is software. Program accordingly. What you eat is the most direct input you have into how you feel, how you age, how your body runs. And it doesn't have to be complicated, expensive, or joyless. Healthy food can be the most comforting, creative, satisfying food you've ever eaten.

My job is to prove that to you in your kitchen, with your pots and pans, using ingredients from your local farmers market. I cook with fresh, seasonal produce. I support local farmers where I can. I listen to what you need and I never stop trying to surprise you.

If that sounds like the kind of chef you've been looking for, let's talk.
