Virginia harvesting fresh herbs in a Seattle garden

Hi, I’m Virginia.

I’m the chef behind Chateau Olive, a private chef service in Seattle rooted in seasonal cooking and thoughtful hospitality.

My background in exercise physiology and coaching shaped the way I think about food: it should nourish you, fit your life, and taste wonderful. What began with in-home meal prep grew into a love of helping people eat well and gather around the table.

Today, I create personalized meals for busy households and seasonal menus for intimate dinners and small celebrations. From sourcing ingredients to leaving a clean kitchen, I bring care to every part of the experience.


My Approach

Good food begins with good ingredients, a little curiosity, and attention to the people at the table. I’m inspired by garden produce, the rhythm of the seasons, and the pleasure of a meal shared at home.

Food that fits your life

Every menu starts with your tastes, routines, and dietary needs. Whether you want a fridge stocked for the week or dinner prepared in your home, the goal is the same: delicious food and a little more room to enjoy your day.

Gather with ease

A thoughtful gathering doesn’t have to mean doing everything yourself. I take care of the cooking so you can slow down, enjoy your guests, and be present at your own table.
