Holli Taylor

I craft multi-course private dinners designed for connection, celebration, and ease.

I’m a self-taught private chef originally from New Orleans, and I’ve spent the last 15 years curating intimate dining experiences. I also worked four years as a galley chef aboard a sailing yacht during charter season, cooking for crew and guests while balancing modern cuisine with subtle Southern comfort influences.

Today I focus on curated multi-course private dining through my brand, The Private Table, DFW. I don’t just cook—I set the tone for guests to slow down, connect, and share meaningful time together around the table.

Plan your dinner with me

My secret in the kitchen is cooking the way I first learned—patiently, with care, and with the intention of bringing people together around the table.

Connection-first cooking

For me, cooking is a way to connect with people. I design meals that invite conversation, celebration, and meaningful time together.

Rooted in tradition, shaped by experience

I learned to cook on Sunday evenings at my little Creole grandmother’s house—around her table is where my passion for food and the essence of creating dishes began.

Patient, intentional hospitality

My philosophy is simple: I cook patiently and with care, and I build each menu with the intention of bringing people together around the table.

Holli Taylor’s Dining Experiences

I offer elevated, multi-course private dining experiences inspired by the Mediterranean, Italian–Sicilian traditions, and French-Creole roots—always centered on seasonal ingredients, premium products, and a welcoming, refined feel. You can select courses from my signature menus or I can tailor a custom flow for your event.
