From handling your weekly meal prep to memorable family gatherings, I’ll take you on a personalized culinary journey celebrating the best of Maui’s local ingredients. With a fresh, farm-to table approach where every dish is infused with the vibrant flavors of the tropics.

Retreat Chef Services

I offer custom retreat chef services for up to 30 guests. During the retreat, I prepare all meals on-site. I focus on organic and locally grown produce and I offer vegan and vegetarian menus, if desired. Each retreat is custom planned and may include breakfast, lunch and/or dinner service. For extra small retreats (under 10 participants), my regular private chef rates apply. Please inquire for more information about hiring me as your retreat chef.

I look forward to hearing from you.

​”We have used the Healthy Maui Chef two different times while on vacation in Maui. We have a lot of food allergies in our extended family and she was familiar with all of them. She made delicious, healthy, beautiful food using local products that we all loved, including the grandchildren. Hillary is professional and friendly and turned our vacation into a memorable experience that we were eager to repeat.”

“We planned many amazing activities on Maui and our dinner with Chef Hilary might have been the most enjoyable and meaningful. My niece described the fish as ‘life-changing.’ My father in law described the ceviche as the best he’s ever had. The steak was so tender you could cut it with a spoon. All in all an amazing meal and incredibly enjoyable experience. Couldn’t recommend Chef Hilary any higher!”

“I highly recommend Chef Hilary at Healthy Maui Chef for all your private chef needs! While we were in Maui we had used the chef dinner service and food prep. She went above and beyond to make our evenings special. Not to mention the food was outstanding! I cannot recommend her enough.”

“I was so happy to find a chef on Maui who understands the personal dietary needs of my father. At 94 years young, he needs someone to create meals for him that are gluten and dairy free. Hilary came to our family’s rescue! Not only does she understand his needs, but she creates weekly dinner meals that are nutritious and delicious! My dad has regained his appetite and we know, with Hilary, his nutritional needs are being met. Hilary is professional and respectful and truly cares about what she creates in the kitchen. Her cheerful nature adds a bright spot to our weekly communication regarding meal preferences. Our family is so grateful to her and we feel lucky to have found such a fabulous chef!”

“Hilary at Healthy Maui Chef is amazing! We loved having her prepare meals just for the two of us or for bigger groups when friends and family were visiting us in Maui. Hilary is a fabulous chef. She is creative, creates healthy meals if that is your preference, and is willing to prepare meals for guests with specific requirements. Her friendly manner created a very relaxing and fun experience for us and for our guests. Hilary also gave us several cooking lessons which were informative and enjoyable. Once we found Hilary, she was the only chef we used on Maui. We’ve moved back to Canada and miss her.”

“Healthy Maui Chef provides an excellent experience for private chef dinners. Chef Hilary provides amazing food, creatively and beautifully presented, with healthy ingredients and yummy, fresh flavors. Highly recommended for special occasions, special dietary needs, or just to spoil yourself!”

“Incredible! Chef Hillary catered an intimate dinner for my wife and I. The food was delicious. We chose Hilary because of her flexibility in preparing healthy foods taking into consideration certain sensitivities. She did the shopping, prep, presentation and clean up. It was easy and worth every penny. She does a great job communicating- no surprises and even enough for leftovers the next day. Will use her again and again.”

“If you want to improve your health with tasty and nutritious meals, look no further than Hilary Barsby and her meal services. I am 95 years old and struggled in the recent past with digestive issues that caused me to lose my appetite. My daughter searched for a local chef who understood my dietary needs (gluten free and dairy free).

We found Hilary and have employed her services over the last year. She creates the most tasty and nutritious meals! I have regained my appetite and have had less digestive problems. Hilary prepares a variety of meals focused on fresh ingredients with lovely sauces that add just the right balance of flavors. She is very professional and easy to work with, being flexible about different menu ideas. I believe her food is the best medicine on my quest to remain strong and healthy in the years to come.”
