My name is Gavin Smith and I am the Food Minded Fellow, a private chef, author, podcast producer, and fisherman servicing Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod. As a private chef I offer thoughtfully curated in-home dining services, from one meal to many. I prepare memorable experiences with a focus on fresh, local ingredients, innovative techniques, and a passion for food and service.
Whether you're looking to host an informal family style dinner, an elaborate tasting menu, or to educate yourself with a cooking class, I can create the perfect, intimate food focused event. There is nothing I enjoy more than bringing good people together over great food.

“Gavin was super-professional, courteous, responsive, and helpful in preparing for the party. He was on time and the food was delicious. Very happy to recommend him.”
“Gavin prepared an amazing welcome to Marthas Vineyard private dinner for 30 executives. He did a wonderful job with everything even utilizing the home owners Traeger Smoker to bring the owners own style into the dinner menu. The menu included everything and there was plenty of food and leftovers for late night snacking. From prep to clean up he left the kitchen area spotless. He explained his food selections to the guest and went above and beyond to provide a local flavor to the menu. We will be planning our next retreat and will use Gavin all three nights next time.”
“Not only was it one of the absolute best meals any of us had ever had, but [Gavin] was an absolutely pleasure to meet and work with.”
