Personalized private dining

Hi, I’m Jeff Raymond, and I created Metta Personal Chef to bring unique dining experiences into homes and vacation rentals across Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

I offer custom meal prep for busy households and private dinners for special occasions, from birthday dinners and bachelorette brunches to corporate retreats, and everything in between.

I love to cook with fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local New England farms and small producers. Every menu is thoughtfully personalized to your group, with an emphasis on fun flavor pairings and friendly hospitality, with a spotless kitchen when it's all done.

Testimonials

  • "Jeff prepared an amazing dinner for 7 of us who gathered to celebrate some birthdays in Mystic CT. The food was amazing from start to finish and it was so much fun chatting with him as he prepared this feast.

    We opted for a beer pairing dinner and weren't disappointed. It was a fun and delicious evening. Although it was first time working with Jeff, it won't be last."

Jeff took the time to understand our preferences, crafting personalized menu for Valentine’s Day that was truly a meal we won't soon forget. Highly recommend for any special occasion."

  • "Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Jeff came to my sister’s house for her birthday dinner [near Worcester] and truly made the night so special. Every single course was out of this world, with incredible attention to detail in each dish.

    The pasta was cooked perfectly, the steak was spot-on, and the salad was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. I would recommend Jeff to anyone looking for an unforgettable private chef experience."
