About Me

Born on a family farm on the Adriatic coast of Montenegro, I grew up around farm fresh ingredients and learned from an early age how to best prepare foods that have been freshly harvested by our local family of farmers and butchers. After leaving Montenegro during the Balkan Wars, my family moved to the North Fork of Long Island where I spent my Summers working in the Long Island agriculture industry and eventually went on to operate my own 3 acre farm where I developed a successful model for biointensive sustainable farming. I learned how to cook professionally in my family’s restaurants and for the last 10 yrs have been providing high level personal chef services while overseeing my own restaurant. Through my relationships with local farmers, harvesters, and fisherman I am fortunate to be able to procure the very best of the best in local ingredients. I am also adept at creating menus that accommodate all food restrictions diets and allergies.

  • Mirijana was fantastic. Her menu was fresh, seasonal, and creative. She was very easy to work with. She showed up on time and ready and everything was right in time. I took our guests down to the beach and when we came home dinner was complete! Service was lovely, our guests loved it and the tone of the whole night was perfect. Dinner was beyond delicious, I would definitely book again. Loved it.

  • Marijana and her fellow chefs created a wonderful menu for a 10 person party we recently had in West Hampton. She was meticulous in her presentation and timely with arrival. Foods were prepared with joy as we conversed together in the kitchen during prep time. Ingredients were selected from local sources and we got to eat the best swordfish we as a group had tasted (and we are foodies). Not just was the food and clean up spectacular, but we felt like she was part of our group and hopefully the warm welcome was received by her. Bonus points for sharing some of the sourcing and cooking/prep tips. That greatly added to our overall experience. We would strongly recommend her services for your party.

  • Mirijana was amazing, and the food was SO delicious. It was such a fun experience, and everyone in our group of 14 said this meal was the highlight of our weekend in the Hamptons. Went with a Mediterranean 4 course meal, and it was spectacular...each dish was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The ingredients she used were local and the flavors were perfect for summer. Could not recommend her enough!
