Bio
From an early age, Chef Ryoko Yoshida was captivated by the world of food. Watching cooking programs after school sparked a deep curiosity that led her to culinary school and a career in some of New York’s top restaurants. As an Executive Chef in Brooklyn, she gained firsthand experience in high-paced kitchens, mastering both technique and leadership. Now, as a Personal Chef in New York, she brings that same expertise to private dining experiences.
Her approach to Japanese Cuisine is rooted in tradition yet embraces modern techniques. Inspired by her grandmother’s cooking, she blends classic flavors with a contemporary touch. Her love for European Cuisine grew through her travels in Italy and France, where she studied the art of pasta, sauces, and slow-cooked meats. With a deep respect for fresh ingredients, she also draws from the bold, sun-kissed flavors of Mediterranean Cuisine, incorporating local produce into her creations.
As a Private Chef in New York, she curates personalized menus for clients, offering everything from intimate dinners to meal prep services. Whether crafting elegant multi-course meals or nourishing everyday dishes, she focuses on simplicity, balance, and bold flavors.
Favourites
Chef Ryoko finds the greatest joy in cooking simple yet deeply flavorful dishes. A perfect tomato sauce, for example, is deceptively simple but requires technique and patience. Whether slow-cooking onions and caramelized tomato paste for richness or infusing olive oil with garlic and white wine for a delicate depth, she elevates every element with precision. Her Japanese Cuisine influences shine in dishes like miso-glazed fish and hand-rolled sushi, while her expertise in European Cuisine is evident in rich, rustic pasta dishes. Her love for Mediterranean Cuisine comes to life in shakshuka, roasted vegetables with sumac, and perfectly grilled seafood. As a Personal Chef in New York, she tailors every dish to her clients’ tastes, ensuring each meal is a celebration of flavor and craftsmanship.Cusines
