About WildSpice Gourmet

Chef Mia

Private Chef

I'm Chef Mia, a Portland-based private chef and founder of WildSpice Gourmet. I create globally inspired, seasonally driven dining experiences using fresh Pacific Northwest ingredients — customized to your vision, your guests, and your dietary needs. From intimate dinner parties to celebrations for up to 85 guests, I bring bold flavor and an unforgettable experience to every table.

Every menu is built around you — your tastes, your dietary needs, and the experience you want to create and remember. I specialize in elevating wholesome ingredients into luxuriously presented dishes, and I offer gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan specials that help guests savor the experience without compromising on flavor or elegance. What you get isn't just a meal, it's a culinary experience your guests will carry with them long after the evening ends.

    Farm-to-Table Culinary Experience

    From our first conversation with Chef Mia at WildSpice Gourmet, we knew we had found the right caterer for our event. She listened carefully to what we envisioned for our menu and worked with us to create something truly special that reflected our tastes. Chef Mia sources from her own garden and hand-picks the freshest ingredients to craft a bespoke meal with layered, sophisticated flavors that change with the seasons. During the day of our event (Autumn season), the food was absolutely stunning—each dish felt carefully thought out and balanced perfectly. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how refined and thoughtful every bite was. We can't recommend WildSpice Gourmet highly enough for any couple looking for a caterer who genuinely cares about making their celebration memorable.

    Elevated, Intentional, Delicious

    I went to a 4-course dinner by Wildspice Gourmet and it was amazing from start to finish. Every dish had such unique flavor combinations and you could really taste the quality ingredients. Chef Mia is incredibly talented and it shows in every detail. Everything was thoughtful, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a special, elevated dining experience.

    Chef Mia Exceeds Expectations

    Working with WildSpice Gourmet has been a game-changer for our events. Chef Mia has an impressive ability to transform nutritional ingredients into stunning finger pieces and main dishes that guests genuinely rave about—she listens closely to what you need and brings creative solutions to the table. The presentation of every plate reflects her artistic approach, with thoughtful ingredient combinations that deliver both visual impact and genuine flavor. What sets them apart is how she manages to make health-conscious choices feel indulgent rather than like a compromise. I'd recommend WildSpice Gourmet to any couple looking for catering that goes beyond the standard menu and actually surprises people in the best way possible.

    Chef Mia catered a party for us and all of the food was absolutely delicious! All of her ingredients were super fresh, vibrant and colorful, and paired for an amazing meal. Can't wait to have them cook for us again!

    I attended a party hosted at my friend's house catered by Chef Mia of WildSpice Gourmet, and all I can say is "wow!". Each course was freshly made, full of flavor, and healthy to boot. A far cry from precooked dishes sitting in warming trays you often see. As a foodie, I particularly appreciated hearing her discuss her thoughtful approach to cooking, and her in depth knowledge of ingredients. If you're looking to make your next special occasion pop, you can't go wrong with WildSpice Gourmet.
