About Me

Hi, I’m Jeff Raymond, and I started Metta Personal Chef to bring care and connection to your table through food and thoughtful hospitality. I love creating meals that bring people together, whether it’s an intimate dinner or a lively gathering of friends and family.

Drawing on my professional experience in brewing, baking, and engineering, I bring a creative and scientific approach to my cooking. I craft dishes that are familiar yet elevated, inspired by modern American, Mediterranean, and European flavors.

My goal is simple: make food taste incredible, bring joy to your table, and leave a lasting impression—while keeping the experience relaxed, seamless, and stress-free for you and your guests. I'm looking forward to making your next dinner special!
