CHEF REILLY MEEHAN
Chef Reilly Meehan is a professionally trained private chef and content creator known for letting you in on the behind the scenes magic, the flavor boosts, and the finishing touches that make every dish feel like a moment. Raised on the California coast, blackberry foraging included, and sharpened by culinary training in California and Oregon, he has cooked everywhere from The Ritz Carlton to The Bohemian Club, even running a doughnut pop up along the way. Now based in Phoenix with his husband Ryan and their pup Odie, Reilly spends summers in the Hamptons cooking for clients and bringing that private chef polish to everything he touches, seasonal, nostalgic, and always a little bit extra.
A Little Bit Extra is Chef Reilly Meehan’s love letter to making everyday cooking feel like something worth showing up for. Built on familiar flavors and crowd favorite ingredients, the book is packed with the small, smart moves he uses as a private chef to level up color, texture, and flavor without overcomplicating the process. Think approachable recipes with a twist, the kind of finishing touches and shortcuts that make a dish feel intentional, impressive, and genuinely fun to make. It is all about that one extra step that changes everything.
