If you’re just finding me here on Instagram; hi! I’m Krystal, a private chef/ entrepreneur/ jill-of-all trades based in Boston, serving clients from Newport, RI up to Portland, Maine. 👩🏼🍳✨
I specialize in:
• Private chef dinners (in-home dining + intimate events)
• Dinner drop-offs + boutique meal prep
• Seasonal menus + holiday catering + retreats
• And now exploring a new Soup Drop program.. 🤔 big mason jar exchange with chef-made seasonal soups delivered every other week. Would you be interested in this?? January to March?⬇️⬇️⬇️
In this video I’m cooking through the pumpkins and squash I rescued from , a local Boston company that creates the most stunning porch and patio displays. Too beautiful to toss, so they’re getting a chef’s second life. 🎃
Today’s lineup:
🧡 Knucklehead pumpkin > insanely sweet + aromatic
🔴 Cinderella (French heirloom) > velvety + rich, stringy
💚 Blue Hubbard squash > tough skin, incredible flavor
I’m starting with purées, but there’s so much you can do from there: soups, risotto, ravioli fillings, breads, gnocchi… the whole cozy fall spectrum. Let me know what you want me to cook?! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
💥I’m also saving all the seeds 💥 if you want an assorted pack of heirloom pumpkin seeds, let me know in the comments. 🌱⬇️
