Hi, I'm Ryan.
Ryan Howe

I bring restaurant-level cooking and warm, convivial hospitality to your home.

I cook seasonal, comfort-forward meals with the polish of a restaurant and the ease of a great night at home.

I'm Ryan from Upstate New York, and I've spent the last 20 years in the restaurant and hospitality world. I recently moved from DC, where I worked as Chef Nathan Anda’s sous chef for five years.

Cooking is my passion, and I love everything that comes with it—planning, sourcing, timing, and taking care of people. I’d love to bring my cooking and hospitality experience into your home and make dinner feel effortless.

I taste everything as I cook—and I make sure we’re having fun and not taking things too seriously.

I’ve been doing this for a long time

I started cooking at 13, and I’ve spent two decades in hospitality refining my craft. Most recently, I worked in DC as a sous chef for five years, which sharpened my discipline, timing, and consistency.

I keep it delicious, joyful, and real

My kitchen philosophy is simple: I taste everything as I cook, I stay curious, and I keep the experience fun—because the best meals are the ones that feel both special and relaxed.
