First we eat, then we do everything else.

Christy Johnston is a Washington, DC–based personal chef whose love of food is rooted in the belief that a great meal is one of life's most reliable pleasures. Her cooking draws from the same wonderful rhythm of food, sensation, and memory that M.F.K. Fisher celebrated — honest, seasonal, and made with care.

Christy trained at the Culinary Institute of America and honed her craft at some of the country's most celebrated kitchens, including Bouchon Bakery and The Inn at Little Washington. She has worked as a private chef in New York City and Washington, DC, bringing restaurant-level skill and sensibility to intimate, home settings.

Whether she's crafting a week's worth of nourishing meals or orchestrating a dinner party for twelve, Christy brings the same attention and intention to every dish.
