More than a meal.
An experience.

"I cook food that makes people feel something. Every dish starts with intention."

Gather & Feast by Chef Alexx is a private chef service rooted in connection. Based in Chicago, I specialize in weekly meal prep that takes the stress out of your week, and curated dinner parties that give you the restaurant experience without ever leaving your home.

Every menu is built around you: your dietary needs, your flavor preferences, your life. No templates. No shortcuts. Just thoughtful, from-scratch cooking that fits seamlessly into your routine.
