Private dinners
A full evening in your home. Spanish, Italian, Mexican, New American, or a chaos menu. You name the direction, or I take the reins.
Private chef, Boston
Hello, my name is Luke Samton.
I love everything about food: the growing, the cooking, and the sharing. As a cook, I value products grown locally and in season. I enjoy supporting local growers and farmers and creating beautiful dishes.
Spanish, Italian, Mexican, New American, or a chaos menu. Tell me what you’re looking for, or I’ll take the reins.
Prices on inquiry.
The work
From the kitchen
Services
How we work together
Weekly cooking
Recurring meals from what’s in season that week, labelled in the fridge. Boston markets, your kitchen.
Celebrations
Birthdays, proposals, small weddings. Intimate service for the table, not a banquet hall.
About
How I cook
I’m Luke. Boston. I cook in your house. Shop, cook, plate, leave the kitchen how I found it. You stay at the table.
Locality and seasonality actually matter to me. If the tomatoes are good right now, we’re eating tomatoes. If a farm nearby has squash, that’s dinner. I cook from what’s around, not from a menu I wrote in January.
Spanish, Italian, Mexican, New American, or a chaos menu if you want me mixing it. Tell me what you’re looking for, or I’ll take the reins.
The practical stuff
Boston
I’m based here. Greater Boston and nearby is easy. Further out, just ask.
Prices on inquiry
It depends on the menu, the number of people, and the night. I’ll send a number with the menu, not a rate card.
What’s included
Shopping, cooking, plating, cleanup. You stay at the table. Tell me dietary needs up front.
How it goes
You write me. I send a menu and a price. If it works, I show up, cook, and leave the kitchen how I found it.
Book
Request an evening
Date, guests, neighbourhood, anything I should know. Pick a cuisine or leave it to me. I’ll come back with availability, a menu, and a price.
