I’m Chef Daniel Cox, a private chef based in Bozeman, Montana, proudly serving Big Sky and the greater Montana area. With over 15 years of experience in top restaurants and luxury hotels, I specialize in creating custom private dining experiences, multi-course tasting menus, and personalized meal prep services that reflect your taste, lifestyle, and occasion.

My background spans Spanish, French, Italian, and modern American cuisine, and I’m passionate about sourcing the best seasonal and local Montana ingredients. Whether it’s an intimate private dinner in Big Sky, an elevated event in Bozeman, or weekly chef-prepared meals designed around your preferences, I bring a calm, professional presence and an eye for detail that makes every experience seamless.

From whole animal butchery to plant-based and gluten-free menus, I love working with all ingredients and dietary styles. Every meal is crafted to feel elevated but never stuffy. Just beautiful food made with purpose, precision, and care.

Every event is a chance to create something memorable and I look forward to making yours exceptional.
