Meet Chef Cory Lambert
A world of experience.
A personal approach.
Twenty-five years of cooking, a life shaped by travel and a belief that the best private service feels natural. Cory brings that perspective to every household and every table.
From distinguished kitchens to private homes
Good cooking starts
with paying attention.
Cory’s foundation began with a culinary arts degree at Johnson & Wales. Work at Norman’s at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, a stage at The French Laundry and his role as sous chef at Trummer’s on Main helped shape a lasting respect for technique, ingredients and the discipline behind an unhurried meal.
Private estates and over a decade aboard private yachts gave that training a more personal direction. International provisioning, changing itineraries and life between residences called for resourcefulness, discretion and an understanding of each household. His experience includes cooking for prominent private families, entertainers and elite athletes.
Today, based in Wellington, Cory offers private estate service, private dining and weekly meal prep across the Palm Beaches. Each begins in the same way: a conversation about how you like to eat, entertain and live.
A broad culinary vocabulary
Globally inspired.
Never one-size-fits-all.
Latin, Italian, French, Spanish, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Indian and California cuisines inform Cory’s cooking, alongside Mediterranean and Persian influences. The menu is not about fitting you into a signature style. It is about drawing on that range to find what you enjoy.
Whether the occasion calls for a composed dinner, an easy family lunch or meals planned around dietary preferences, the approach remains personal. The range serves your tastes, with the flexibility a private household needs.
Recognition
A considered body of work.
Best Chefs America recognized Cory among the Top 100 Chefs in the United States in 2013 and the Top 100 Chefs in the Southeastern United States in 2014.
That recognition is part of a career whose daily measure is more personal: food thoughtfully prepared and service that puts the household at ease.
Private service
Experience you can feel.
From established multi-chef teams to managing a kitchen independently, Cory understands the work beyond the plate: provisioning, organization, dietary preferences and clear communication with household staff.
For estate managers and family offices, a portfolio and CV are available for a more detailed conversation.
