A private chef for Tanglewood
A private chef serving Tanglewood, Houston — formal dinner parties, holiday tables and in-home tasting menus by French-trained Chef Martin Fassi.
The neighborhood
Cooking in Tanglewood
Tanglewood keeps the kind of dining room that was built to be used: a proper table, a sideboard, and a kitchen with space to work behind it. Evenings here tend to be the formal end of what Chef Fassi does — seated, served in courses, and paced for conversation rather than turnover.
The bookings skew toward established entertaining: anniversary dinners, holiday tables that have happened in the same room for twenty years, and dinners around a Galleria-area business visit where the host would rather not take guests to a restaurant.
Proximity to the Galleria also means out-of-town guests. A menu that reads as Houston without being a costume — Gulf seafood, Texas beef, cooked with French method — travels well with visitors who eat out constantly.

FAQ
Private chef in Tanglewood — questions
Do you cook for formal seated dinners?
Yes — Tanglewood is where the most formal service happens. Multiple plated courses, served to the table, with servers scaled so every guest is served at the same moment.
Can you cook for out-of-town business guests?
Often. A dinner at home reads as considerably more generous than a restaurant booking, and it lets the host control the room, the pacing and the conversation.
Is Tanglewood inside the standard service area?
Yes, and anything about travel is settled with you before you book.
“Having dinner prepared in our home made the entire night feel special. The menu was exactly what we wanted, and the experience felt completely effortless.”
