Prepare to be wowed by Perfect Little Bites, where we bring the restaurant experience to you. I’m Chris Spear, an in-home personal chef with more than 30 years of experience in the food industry. Based in Frederick, Maryland, I provide services within a 70-mile radius, which includes Baltimore, Washington D.C., northern Virginia, parts of southern Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. I strive to create an unforgettable food experience in the comfort of your home (or vacation rental, etc), focusing on big flavors and creative dishes while using the finest ingredients available. To ensure a seamless experience, I bring everything needed for the perfect culinary affair – from the food and tableware to linen napkins and cooking equipment. As long as you have a stove, oven, and fridge, I’m ready to work my magic. And don’t worry about the cleanup; your kitchen will be left spotless once I’m finished. Every dinner is tailored specifically to you, resulting in a truly personalized experience. Unlike traditional fixed menus, I can accommodate most dietary preferences, including vegan, gluten-free, and all allergies. To get a glimpse of my culinary style and explore my creations, visit my blog, where you’ll find an array of recipes and an insider’s look into my culinary world. While not all the dishes featured on the blog may be available, it serves as a great introduction to my repertoire. To ensure your event gets the attention it deserves, I kindly ask for a minimum of two weeks’ notice for preparation. My calendar fills up faster than you can say “food coma,” so it’s best to lock in your spot ASAP. If you’re ready to get started, fill out a brief questionnaire found here (https://perfectlittlebites.com/customer-survey). It’s the first step to planning your event, and you’ll also find additional information about the process and how we can best assist you.

Friday night was my first time attending Maritime Magic in Baltimore, and I had a great time.

I was invited to be one of the food judges, so I spent a good part of the evening checking out what Baltimore-area chefs, restaurants, breweries and other businesses were serving. There were freshly shucked oysters, crab cakes, plenty of drinks and desserts, and some really interesting dishes from local chefs.

One of my favorite parts of events like this is getting to talk with the people making the food. I got to meet a few new people, say hi to chef Spike Gjerde, and chat briefly with chef Jesse Sandlin.

It was also great seeing so many Baltimore businesses and organizations come together for the event. Beyond the food, drinks and music, Maritime Magic is Living Classrooms Foundation’s biggest fundraiser of the year, supporting their education, workforce development and community programs throughout Baltimore and Washington DC.

Thanks to Living Classrooms for inviting me to be part of this year’s event. I’m glad I finally got to experience it, and I’d definitely recommend checking it out next year.

The end of summer is almost here. For the most part, I’m not really sad about it because I prefer fall to summer. But the thing I’ll miss the most is all of the amazing summer produce.

This summer, we got most of our produce from Pleasant Hill Produce and our DeFeo Family Farm, CSA share. And thank goodness, because it’s getting crazy out there.

One of my favorite things to make this time of year is this simple peach and tomato salad with fresh mozzarella, basil, olive oil and balsamic. So, basically, a Caprese with peaches.

What summer fruit or vegetable are you going to miss the most?

Blueberry Sauce

Here’s a really quick and easy recipe for blueberry sauce

Makes 2 cups
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and zest of 1 lemon
3 cups blueberries, divided
2 dashes Angostura () bitters

Combine sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and half of the blueberries in a pot. Bring to a simmer.

Then reduce heat to medium-low, continuing to simmer until blueberries are very tender, about 10 minutes.

Let mixture cool.

Transfer mixture to a blender, and puree until smooth, adding a couple dashes of Angostura aromatic bitters.

Pour blueberry sauce into a container, and fold in remaining blueberries.
Blueberry sauce can be made 2 days ahead.

As a private chef, I love recipes that are easy, but high impact. If you’d like to see how I use this, consider hiring me for a dinner.

Met with a private chef client in Potomac, MD this week to plan an upcoming in-home dinner, and stopped at one of my favorite local spots, Boulangerie Christophe.

If I’m in the Potomac area meeting clients, this is an easy choice for coffee, pastries or lunch.

The Croque Monsieur was one of the best I’ve had, and the Far Breton with prunes was a first for me.

One of the things I love about being a private chef is discovering (and revisiting) great food while planning memorable dining experiences for clients.

If you're in Potomac, they’re worth a stop. They also have a Georgetown location.

🍤 Shrimp & Fennel Toast

This is by far one of my most popular appetizers for a dinner party. Also, it’s one of the easiest. Because there’s so few ingredients, quality really matters here.

I buy wild gulf shrimp whenever possible. Right
now, there’s some great shrimp at Costco.

The other important ingredient is bread. I’m fortunate to have here, and always use their bread for my toasts.
The dressing is simply , fresh lemon juice & zest, and .

Thinly slice fennel, ideally on a mandolin. Mix the shrimp, fennel, and dressing. That’s it. Put it on triangles of griddled toast, garnished with a fennel frond and some Urfa Biber chili if ya’ got it.

Rice pudding is a little nostalgic for me. But I never had it like this when I was growing up.

Jasmine rice cooked in coconut milk with brown sugar and spices. Caramelized pineapple that’s soaked in orange liqueur while it’s still warm. Finish it off with whipped cream and toasted coconut.

It seems simple, but it can be challenging to get the texture just right. It’s one of my favorite desserts, and I recently served it to the guests staying at

One of my favorite things to serve at a dinner party is a dip like this. Roasted red peppers, feta, pickled onions, roasted garlic, red w**e vinaigrette and a little spice (Spiceology Pizza Spice to be exact)

I don’t have an actual recipe for this. I just taste and adjust until it feels right. But let me know if you have questions.

Serve it with pita chips/bread or whatever you like. It’s also good on an egg sandwich.
