Private Chef Bay Area.

Hello Bay Area!

We all love having a delicious meal out, in the office, or at home with our family and friends!

But in today’s fast-pacing world, planning and hosting a party and preparing everything from scratch can be a very stressful affair.

To make your life easier, I cater to your office or prepare delicious meals in your home for special events or everyday.

People who love to eat are always the best kind of people.

— Julia Child

About me.

My name is Nicole, and I am the German girl behind Nico’s Plant Based Kitchen.

My inspiration and innate joy for food and cooking comes from my childhood growing up in the villages of northern Germany around Hamburg.

My mother and grandfather Ludwig were both excellent cooks and I was blessed with a childhood surrounded by many family gatherings with plenty of delicious food to eat.

It’s been 35 years since I started in the hospitality industry and I’ve never looked back.

I have started my career in the Bay Area with Gourmet Lunch Catering, developed and opened the FoodShed Cafe at the Children’s Discovery Museum in San Jose, opened Ludwigs German Table and Ludwigs Biergarten in Mountain View.

I’m a part-time Vegan and would like to learn, experiment and develop new recipes that show how satisfying and delicious plant-based food can be.

WHAT OUR EATERS ARE SAYING:

  • Nicole is amazing! She has catered for us three times and each time the food, service and overall experience has been amazing. I especially love Nicole's salads. Her entrees are just as incredible, with the vegetarian spinach lasagna being a stand out item.

  • If you have a special event and you are looking for the caterer with wonderful food, great services and reasonable prices, I would highly recommend Nico's Plant Based Catering. Nicole worked within our budget and was very patient with all our special needs.
