Chef Tasha M- Massachusetts Best Personal Chefs

"There’s nothing more satisfying to me than that moment when everything in a dish comes together exactly the way I pictured it."

Cooking is my creative outlet, my comfort, and the place I feel most myself — and I can’t wait to bring that energy into your kitchen.

I grew up in the Bay Area but traded California sunshine for Boston’s charm years ago, and honestly? I’ve never looked back.

I’m a veggie enthusiast at heart, the kind of cook who gets genuinely excited about seasonal produce and all the creative ways it can shine. And yes… I’m also known for the occasional sneaky splash of anchovy paste or handful of crispy pancetta that brings a dish to life.

If it’s sweet, flaky, or warm from the oven, you’ll usually find me there too — baking and pastry are my other great loves.

My Style

I’m all about food that feels thoughtful, comforting, and deeply satisfying. I love taking simple ingredients and coaxing out their best qualities — bright herbs, roasted veggies, a drizzle of something tangy, or a buttery finish. My unofficial catchphrase is: “Should we add brown butter?” (Spoiler: the answer is almost always yes.)

My Story

My love for cooking started long before I was allowed to touch a knife. My parents are big food lovers, but they had a strict “no kids in the kitchen” rule — so instead, I grew up glued to Good Eats and Chopped, taking notes and dreaming up my future chef life.

I eventually found my way into the culinary world through an organic produce farm in Massachusetts, where I ran the on-site kitchen and created menus using whatever the fields offered that week. From there, I became a recipe developer for a meal delivery company and even taught kids how to cook — still one of the most delightful and chaotic chapters of my career.

Beyond the Kitchen

When I’m not cooking, you’ll probably find me attempting to pet my cat, Cordelia (named after the Buffy the Vampire Slayer character — because of course), without getting scratched. I also love crocheting, watching movies, listening to podcasts, and taking leisurely nature walks — my version of a hike.

One day, I’d love to explore Napa and Marin County’s wine country for the food, the views, and the kind of inspiration only a sunny vineyard can offer.

Our focus is weekly meal service for you and your family.

At Tiny Spoon, we spend a lot of time talking about relationships because we think that’s where the “special sauce” is. To us, there’s nothing better than pulling up a stool in the kitchen, steeping in solid conversation with someone fab and grabbing a bite of that perfect thing you didn’t know you wanted mingling with your taste buds.
