I’ve been private chef to Katherine Jackson and her grandchildren in the years after Michael’s death. Personal chef to Kobe Bryant at the height of his career. Caterer to rock legend Joe Walsh and celebrated musician Mark O’Connor. Countless other celebrities, billionaires, and captains of industry fill these pages too. You’ll recognize them by their initials. Their lawyers prefer it that way.
This isn’t a cookbook. It’s a confession.
Thirty years behind the kitchen door of the ultra-wealthy — from celebrity households in Los Angeles to billionaire estates on both coasts. From kitchens with too many egos to dining rooms where the guests don’t actually eat. From whispered chaos to perfectly set tables hiding perfectly dysfunctional families.
I’m Not High-Maintenance is an 85-page celebrity memoir and culinary tell-all for readers who’ve ever wondered what really happens inside the private world of the famous and powerful. Funny, profane, occasionally heartbreaking, and completely unfiltered.
A few clients thought “private chef” meant personal therapist. They weren’t wrong.
For fans of Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential, below-stairs memoirs, and anyone who works for difficult people and lives to laugh about it.
Thirty years. A thousand kitchens. Still standing. Still laughing. Still not sugarcoating a damn thing

I've spent thirty years cooking for people who live behind gates and expect everything to be perfect. I started in haute-cuisine catering - the kind done in private estates where the driveway is longer than most people's commutes. I ran a couple of restaurants, then the kitchen of a boutique hotel on Rodeo Drive, and somewhere along the way I became a private chef to celebrities and captains of industry. My memoir, I'm Not High-Maintenance (As Long As Everything's Perfect), is just the truth about all of it: the kitchens, the chaos, the characters, and the moments that still make me laugh years later.
