Dining with Doryan


My father taught me to cook. Growing up, he would bring in fish or wild game, I’d help him butcher and clean it, and watch what he did with it to make seemingly simple food taste so much better than I thought it could. Heck he even found out a way to make all of us kids actually enjoy Brussels sprouts, and that was back in the 90s before they were all hip and trendy!

I started throwing dinner parties with the knowledge he gave me, those got bigger and bigger until we couldn’t house them in one place anymore. A friend of mine decided to make it into a reality cooking show in 2002, and though it didn’t get picked up, it started me on the road to forming my own catering and event-planning company. Since then, I’ve catered for bishops, congressmen, nationally-traveling musicians, and plenty of hungry people!

If you’re looking for chef services, catered events, personal chef services, meal planning, or pre-prepared foods, have a look at the services I can offer.

Cuarantine Delivery Coop (Weekly Meal Delivery)

During Covid, we pivoted into a weekly food delivery program. People donated extra so we could buy more food to feed those in need. In the years we ran the Coop, we donated between 50 to 80 meals a week, and had a great time doing it. Check out us in the Austin Chronicle!

We can handle plated Tuscan 4-course meals for your charity dinner, a fantastic fajita buffet for your wedding, or a family-style Southern feast at your pool party. I pay my workers well to ensure a great team, and I also work with you to create custom menus and keep within your budget.

Personal Chef/Private Dinners

I love smaller, intimate dinners! They give me a better chance to get to know you, and try out new ideas!

I can also work with many restrictive diets.

Cooking classes 

Let’s face it. Cooking isn’t always easy, but it’s also not as hard as some chefs make it out to be. Don’t believe me? Let me show you! If you’d like to host a group of friends and have me teach y’all how to make a certain meal, contact me!
