Chef Dave Mau is a California-born chef, food writer, and photographer whose deep roots in Sonoma County shape everything he creates. A descendant of one of the region’s early settler families, Dave brings a genuine connection to the land and a passion for showcasing local ingredients.
Through his catered picnics and in-home private chef experiences, Chef Dave crafts meals that celebrate the spirit of California – seasonal, soulful, and unpretentious. Whether it’s an intimate dinner in your vacation home or a beautifully styled outdoor spread among the vineyards, his approach blends West Coast Americana, Regional Mexican, and Mediterranean influences into dishes that tell a story.
