I bring generous portions, Michelin-influenced technique, and allergy-safe menus tailored to you.

Timothy Loayza

I craft generous, allergy-conscious cuisine with global flair

I refuse tiny portions—I make sure everyone eats like royalty. I bring my recipe archives to every event and share what I cook so you can recreate the dishes at home. As Culinarian Director for A Perfect Fit, I’ve sharpened my skills through a hybrid apprenticeship, celebrity diet work, and relentless curiosity. Whether it’s a cozy dinner or a party for up to 150 guests, I deliver abundant flavor and fair, honorable service.

I design inclusive menus for all backgrounds and dietary needs. I can adapt 13 different diets, and I specialize in making Thai and other cuisines safe for guests with peanut, tree nut, shellfish, and gluten allergies—without sacrificing joy or authenticity. I also ship sushi overnight and love building custom international menus with you.

Plan your menu with me

Cooking is joy for me—stress-relieving, enlightening, and blissful—and it brings passion to my life that I love adding to yours.

How I elevate your experience

Cooking is my joy

Cooking is joy for me—stress-relieving, enlightening, and blissful. I channel that energy into every dish so I can add passion, warmth, and value to your life at the table.

A path forged from childhood

I started cooking at 8 years old, sparked by a parent’s adventurous palate and expensive taste. Today I bring nearly four years of private-chef and agency experience, building on ongoing apprenticeship training and real-world service.

My secret in the kitchen

Beyond caffeine, leg day, and cardio, I’m always ready to cook or bake. I experiment and research like a scientist so I can deliver smarter techniques, safer substitutions, and better flavor.

Chef Timothy's Signature Menus

I offer curated multi-course menus across Italian, Japanese, French, surf & turf, and Chinese traditions. I customize every menu for dietary needs and allergens, with generous portions and refined technique.

Stories and testimonials

Chef Tim was truly amazing. He has some great insight and stories that were very entertaining, and he’s incredibly down to earth and you can absolutely see his passion in what he does. The food was phenomenal and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Blake Powell

Chef Timoty gave us the most incredible dinner for the 4 of us. What we loved about the evening is the portion sizes were so generous. He didn't cut back at all and everything was so delicious. Best gyozas I've ever had in my life. His attention to detail was amazing to see and he was very thorough with everything. He told us the story behind a lot of the dishes but also let us get on with our evening with our friends whilst he was working away in the kitchen behind us. A special character with great culinary skills, would definitely recommend!

Marcia Middleton

The Chef's food was excellent. My only complaint was that he spoke too much. I don't mind a little chit chat about the food, but a night that I wanted to have with my wife was actually more of a night with the Chef. Sidenote: a nice table cloth on our dinner table wouldn't hurt.

Cecilio Ramos

Chef Timothy was great! He was on time, made a beautiful presentation of the dishes, and the food was great! He catered to my exact needs of what I wanted for my bachelorette party. Thank you Chef Timothy!

Jessica Nortesano

We had an amazing evening enjoying the presence and delicious food Chef Tim prepared for us! He was kind and knowledgeable, sharing his chef secrets. His 5 course french meal was perfection!!

Dawn Van Wagenen

My Father’s Day dinner was unremarkable. Chef Tim was very detailed oriented and had amazing stories about the dishes and his culinary adventures and background. I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience me and boyfriend experienced. Definitely would hire me over and over again for all upcoming events we will hold in the future

Chef Timothy was incredible. He is meticulous with his planning and he did a wonderful job putting together a delicious menu for us to enjoy. We had a blast for my wife's birthday dinner because of Chef Timothy's added special attention to detail. He is a great person and an even better chef. He will continue to book Chef Timothy in the future for events.

One of the most unique and best experience I have ever had. The chef created a specialized menu based upon the birthday girl's favorite foods. The preparation and attention to every detail was amazing. The food was beyond exquisite. We have already booked for a second event!!! You definitely won't be disappointed by the service, food quality or amount of food. It was heaven.

Kerry Peters Peters

Tim was very sweet and professional. He was punctual- came early and had everything set up and timely. The food was very good and the portions were generous. We all agreed smaller plates actually would have been better so we didn’t waste so much good food!
