The Ozarks Foraging Chef
Bringing the flavors of the forest and field to you through fine dining experiences.Join us at our next event!
Private Chef Experience
At Wild Foods by Dyllan, every meal is crafted with intention, seasonality, and ingredients sourced as close to home as possible. I create private chef experiences that highlight local farms, small producers, and wild foraged ingredients that bring depth and character to each course. I bring the full restaurant experience to your home or venue, handling the cooking, plating, service, and cleanup so you can focus on your guests. Each menu is built from scratch to reflect your event, your tastes, and what’s fresh and available locally. From intimate dinners to special celebrations, my goal is to create a seamless, memorable, and beautifully prepared dining experience. If you’re ready for a meal crafted with care and rooted in local flavor, I’d be honored to cook for you.
Upcoming Pop-Up Events
Experience the Wild, One Box at a Time
Bring the Ozarks’ untamed flavors, fragrances, and creativity straight to your home. Each month’s Wild Harvest Gift Box is a seasonal journey featuring handcrafted jams, wild herbs, unique recipes, and artisan creations made from locally foraged ingredients. Discover the taste of the wilderness — delivered right to your door.
Upcoming Classes
Come and participate at one of our many classes we have throughout each year. These hands on classes are a great opportunity to learn about wild foods fermenting, cooking, and foraging.
Ozarks Foragers Cooking Guide
I am writing a comprehensive cookbook about foraging and cooking Ozarks foraged foods. As an experienced wild foods chef with almost 15 years of experience cooking, I have decided it is time to share my accumulated knowledge with other aspiring wild foods chefs. This book will take a deep dive into foraging, fermenting, and cooking Ozarks wild foods.
This fundraiser will help raise the funds for photography, graphics, editing, and more. Thank you for your help in making this dream become a reality!
