Private Chef

Seasonal, inspired meals prepared by Natalie Jade Hinckley in the comfort of your home or summer rental.

Seasonal, inspired meals in the comfort of your home or summer rental on Mount Desert Island. From intimate dinners to relaxed gatherings, each menu celebrates fresh ingredients, simple beauty, and effortless hospitality. Dishes evolve with the seasons and might feature freshly caught seafood, vibrant garden vegetables, and simple desserts, with flavors that echo the light, sea-salted air and rhythm of island summer evenings.

Raised in Wales and seasoned by years cooking aboard private yachts, I bring a love of global flavours, thoughtful presentation, and the joy of sharing good food with good company.
