Hey there, I’m Jamie.

The first thing you should know about me is that I am most comfortable in the kitchen. Be it mine, yours, or one nestled in a restaurant. I want to be where the whisks are kept.

I was most recently privileged to have been the sous chef at Fox and The Knife, an esteemed enoteca in Boston, where I fell head-over-heels for making hand-made pasta. 

Now, I’ve decided to take my knives back out into the world as Sweet Trash Kitchen where I play in the fun space between culinary “high” and “low”  - taking the flavors of a comforting childhood dish and elevating it into something more refined or putting the essence of a restaurant quality meal into a killer sandwich. I want to bring you cozy candle-lit dinner parties with friends, fridges full of prepped meals for your busy families, and hopefully have the chance to cook you something so head-spinning-ly good that you think about it for days. 

It’s a tale as old as time – instead of watching cartoons after school I ran home to watch the Food Network and was completely riveted by the things they were crafting out of nothing. I would then head for the pantry to produce some of the most insane latchkey kid creations and couldn’t shake this need to express my little self through food.

For years after I would cook for family, for college roommates, for co-workers, but only for kicks, until the day I dropped everything, enrolled in culinary school, and then finally found myself on the line in an actual restaurant. I started as green as the lima beans I would spend collective hours shucking, and loved every minute of it.

Let’s eat.

PERSONAL CHEF SERVICES

I offer weekly or monthly in-home meal prep, including grocery shopping, cooking, full kitchen cleanup and printed menus with reheating instructions. I also provide on-site chef services for private dinners or small events (2–10 guests), with options for plated or cocktail-style service.

DIGITAL MEAL PREP SERVICES

Want a simple, do-it-yourself weekly meal prep guide that includes a digital menu, shopping list, recipes and reheating instructions? You found it.

Please note: this service does not include in-home personal chef services.

PANTRY AUDITS + REFRESHES

I’ll help you transform your pantry by removing expired or unused items, cleaning the space and restocking it with essential, high-quality staples.

Optional storage upgrades include sourcing new containers and labeling for a more organized, efficient, and enjoyable kitchen experience.
