ABOUT ME
I began cooking professionally in 1994. I am excited by fresh and seasonal ingredients and I aspire to create food that is satisfying and nourishing to the palate and to the soul. I love using spices and flavors from around the world. I’m drawn to Mediterranean cuisines, particularly Italian, Middle Eastern and Moroccan. I also love playing with Asian, South Asian, and Latin American foods and flavors.
Whether I am preparing specialty diets for various health conditions, family dinners, or parties, my goal is always the same: to meet each client’s individual dietary and lifestyle needs while bringing the joy I get from cooking into the food.

Reviews
“Laura Stucin has done a great deal of cooking for us, in a variety of formats: big dinners, buffets, family dinners, cooking on the spot or in advance. It is always wonderful. Her cooking is imaginative and great. It makes us happy, and it makes us look good. And, she is a pleasure to work with. She has always offered lots of choice and been willing to re-invent them according to our preferences. We would recommend Laura and her team wholeheartedly.”
“Cuisine to make your mouth water. Laura is a true artist. The simplest to the complex. Laura cooks everything. Always using the best local fruits and vegetables Laura provides a unique service to people who desire the best in good cooking.
In addition to traditional foods Laura can cook culinary treats from other countries as well. She performs magic with flavors to enhance the easiest and simplest recipes. And from the simplest recipes come the most astounding flavors.
The important ingredient is that Laura responds precisely to the clients needs. If it’s a special diet, Laura can help to put together a well rounded menu that takes up little space in the freezer but then your needs are met for the month. This is how I have been working with her. While adhering to special dietary needs she uses herbs to create wonderful tastes and textures in her food planning.
I highly recommend Laura Stucin for individual food planning and for parties as well. Her gift is enormous.”
“Laura Stucin has been a chef for my family over the course of the past 15 years. Simply put, she has superior culinary skills. Her food is both delicious and creative. Laura is flexible with regard to menus, has a generally pleasant demeanor, and respects the privacy required in a private home. She is also punctual, neat and trustworthy. I can’t praise Laura enough and think she would be an asset to any household. ”
“Our family has been working with Laura for almost 18 years now in many capacities: several times a week, events and dinner parties, and for long weekends away when she prepared 3 meals a day for 20+ people for almost a week.
Laura is flexible, reliable, gracious, and talented. She is honest, trustworthy, and incredibly kind. We feel blessed to have her as a part of our family and I am sure that anyone who works with her would feel the same.”
