about me

Hi! I’m Chef Laura, founder of Cooking by Laura. As a personal chef and caterer, I’m here to make your life easier—and healthier. My mission is to provide you with meals that are both nourishing and delicious.

LAURA MODIGLIANI

After graduating from the Chef’s Training Program at Natural Gourmet Institute, the nation's premier health-supportive culinary school, I cooked in some of New York City’s best farm-to-table restaurants, from the large James Beard award-winning ABC Kitchen by Michelin star chef Jean-Georges to the intimate Northern Italian favorites al di la Trattoria and Rucola in Brooklyn. I also have event catering experience and am trained and certified in food safety.

I will customize your meals according to your dietary needs and preferences. I can create a satisfying and balanced dairy-free, gluten-free, or vegetarian menu, with a variety of options for entrees and side dishes to mix and match.

I am committed to using the freshest ingredients, including organic produce, whole grains, grass-fed meats and wild, sustainable seafood. I love combining seasonal food with international flavors and spices, from Mediterranean to Asian.

I will save you valuable time—menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking, portioning, packaging, and cleaning. I can create a week’s worth of all-natural meals for you and your family, or a plated three-course dinner for a special occasion. It's up to you!

In addition to personal chef services, I am also available for private cooking classes and events, from casual brunches to elegant cocktail parties. Thanks for visiting!
