Private Chef Ezra Shapiro

I specialize in creating one-of-a-kind meals for you and your guests in the comfort of your own home. Based in Pittsburgh, PA.

As a private chef, I use my experience and knowledge to create personal, lifelong memories for my clients through food. I believe food must first and foremost be delicious and nutritious, and once that is accomplished, it sets the stage to create unforgettable moments in life to be cherished with loved ones.

Picked up some beautiful wild foraged chanterelles and sage from a few days ago.

Western PA produce coming in strong to pair with this tomato miso-marinated Berkshire pork chop grilled over binchotan.

Sungold tomato miso velouté to finish.

Looking forward to another great event this coming weekend!

Ready? Let’s eat.

Dry-aged duck breast with cherry duck gastrique and fresh Rainier cherries over duck fat polenta.

I love riffing on classics, creating unexpected pairings for guests. With seasonality always top of mind, Rainier cherries have been a star of the show this month.

Agnolotti, my favorite pasta shape, are little hand-formed pillows with a built-in sauce scooper. They work so well with seasonal vegetable fillings. So simple, so beautiful.

This past season, spring pea agnolotti was a crowd favorite on my menus, and I loved featuring delicate pea shoots as a garnish from local farmer .

Looking forward to upcoming summer menu changes with our sweet Pennsylvania corn, featuring sweet caramelized corn agnolotti with corn butter and 18mo. Parmigiano Reggiano - starting this weekend!

Ready? Let’s eat.

I’ve cooked in restaurants across the country for years. While my passion started with the technical craft of cooking, working as a private chef goes beyond that.

With every meal, there is an opportunity to create an unforgettable experience and lifelong memory. As a private chef, I take pride in curating truly personalized events emphasizing the particular needs of each guest—with the freedom to custom tailor each detail of your experience to exactly what is going to make you most comfortable; and create meaning in whatever form best suits YOU.

Yes, it’s a filet mignon, but…

it’s full-blood Wagyu raised just an hour away from Pittsburgh.

I love featuring local partners like Catalpa Lane Farm, llc for private chef events. Interested? Get in touch. 👇

Inspired by the discipline and dedication to technique I learned from mentors, I've spent years perfecting a favorite stuffed pasta dish - agnolotti 🤌

For an exquisite 10th anniversary party this past weekend, I was pleased to serve a seasonal spring pea agnolotti with pea shoots via a favorite local partner, COLDCO farms 🌿

Tell Team Chef Ezra which seasonal produce you're most excited about - we may drop a recipe soon 👇

🎉 I had the honor and privilege of bringing to life a customized, seasonal six course menu for folks in Allison Park this past weekend, to celebrate a 70th birthday!

👌 Starting with pull apart challah rolls and a rich tarragon butter - and ending with my classic blueberry galette - the host said "each bite was better than the last."
